83: Buying Your First House with Scott & Mindy

Buying your first home - either an investment or a primary residence - can be scary. This is a HUGE purchase, and no one wants to mess that up. But buying a house doesn’t have to be scary, if you’re properly prepared.

This week, Scott and Mindy sit down and talk about the process - what you need to consider BEFORE you even start looking at houses and what to REALLY look for when you’re looking at houses.

They also talk about different funding options, different purchasing strategies and even different ways to hack your housing to live for free - or make big money when you sell.
