In this episode I break down both the story of how we speedily secured our mortgage, and the story of how we ended up moving into the same house my husband lived in when we first met in 2011. It was a rapid and often crazy process, but there are some excellent lessons you can take from our speedy real estate experience.
I’ll share some tips about interacting with your lender and your real estate agent, why you should get pre-qualified and pre-approved for a mortgage, and how we stuck up for ourselves when we had two lenders. And next week we’ll learn even more about the ins-and-outs of landing your dream home.
And if you’ve got a couple minutes to spare, please hop on over to my less-than-five-minute podcast listener survey and tell me what you like, dislike, and want more of from Profit Boss® Radio. I want to help you achieve your financial goals, so be sure to let me know how I can help you get there!
