Summary
Should first-time homebuyers focus on the price of the home or the monthly payments? Seems like a simple question, but David Sidoni, the How to Buy a Home guy, goes way beyond the simple concept of "think about the monthly, not the price." Taking the financial breakdown for first time homebuyers to a whole new level, this episode first explores how getting emotionally hung up and focused on the home price can paralyze would-be first-time homebuyers. David then gets deeper into the numbers to find the magic solution that could be just the crucial information long-time renters need to hear to help them see the value in making the change from renter to owner.
