| 0:00.0 | Okay, time for more financial questions answered on several topics, including what the |
| 0:05.4 | hell is PMI and why do some people freak out about it? Let's chop it up. What's happening, everybody? How you all doing? Welcome to the How to Buy a Home podcast, the podcast that is brought to you by me. I am the How to Buy a Home guy. And this podcast is here to help you out. We're going to figure out how to turn your largest monthly bill, your rent, into your largest automatic wealth builder a lot sooner than you think. You can do this, gang, just by getting educated. As I said, I'm David Sidoni, the How to Buy a Home Guy. I'm a realtor with EXP Realty here in Southern California, And I quit the usual path of usual real estate agents who earlier this year I decided |
| 0:58.1 | I didn't want to do what everyone else is doing because I saw some people who needed help. |
| 1:01.8 | So in 2019, I decided to focus on a huge problem. |
| 1:05.9 | You. |
| 1:06.6 | Wait, that sounded wrong. |
| 1:07.8 | You're not the problem. |
| 1:09.1 | See, the problem is the empty wasteland of decent |
| 1:13.0 | information that is out there for first-time buyers. That's the problem. And trust me, I've looked, |
| 1:19.2 | I've seen if it's not this podcast, if it's not my Facebook page or not my YouTube channel, |
| 1:25.6 | it's usually wrong or it's trying to sell you something. I know that sounds incredibly narcissistic. Easy for me to say. I know it sounds like I'm completely full of myself, but there's a reason for that. It's that the industry doesn't think that there's enough money in it. So they bailed on you and they went to go work with the sellers. And if you think I'm kidding, go ahead, Google it right now. Google first-time homebuyer. You won't find a realtor out there. |
| 1:28.4 | As a matter of fact, |
| 1:44.2 | I don't know, they went to go work with the sellers. And if you think I'm kidding, go ahead, Google it right now. |

| 1:57.0 | to tell you how to buy your first home to anybody in the country. Now, I just wanted to remind |
| 2:02.6 | you how much you paid for this podcast today. Absolutely free. And I haven't seen it, but I'm willing |
| 2:08.5 | to bet that he's not being as straight as I am with you guys. Boy, that sounded awful too. I don't |
| 2:13.5 | know. He could be a great guy. God bless him. Thanks for trying to help. Well, the bottom line is you are the smarter consumer for grabbing all this information for free, so good job. |
| 2:22.0 | Today, we're going to continue our six-part mini-series on how to financially prepare to buy |
| 2:26.7 | your first home. And by a look at the download numbers that I've seen online, apparently this |
