| 0:29.6 | I'm not Sidoni, and this is the How to Buy a Home podcast. This is part two of writing your offer. And we've got a lot to cover. So let's jump |
| 0:35.6 | right in. Starting right off at the beginning, |
| 0:37.8 | I'm going to confuse you a little bit. You need two things when you're ready to put an offer on a |
| 0:42.5 | house, a positive mindset and some fear. I know that sounds weird, but listen, fear is an indicator |
| 0:49.7 | that you're on the right path. Life's about risk, and when you feel fear, often it means that you're |

| 1:56.2 | I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it. Okay, I'll be waiting in the car. Well, grandma leaves and |
| 2:04.9 | the couple starts to argue about the story, and he says, oh, great, great story, grandma, |
| 2:10.9 | thanks. I got the whole meaning of life from your awesome little roller coaster story. And of course, she's upset by that, and it really got to her. |
| 2:20.5 | And she says to him, well, I think your grandma's brilliant. |
