Breaking Into Real Estate

I looked at 40 houses, made at least 6 offers, and got outbid over and over. Welcome to buying a home in 2022. In this episode, I'm taking you through the three-month house hunt that taught me more about real estate than I ever expected. From living with my parents to save aggressively, to competing in a brutal market with rising interest rates, to finally closing on my first investment property—and learning what homeownership actually costs. What you'll learn: How I saved $18k for the down payment in 4 months while living with my parents The reality of house hunting in a competitive market (40+ homes, 6+ offers, constant outbidding) How my agent negotiated a new roof AND got the price dropped from $340k to $330k What the mortgage actually includes beyond the loan (property taxes and insurance add up fast) The appliances and maintenance costs that hit immediately (washer, dryer, fridge, dishwasher, fans, toilets, sprinklers) Why I knew from day one this wouldn't be my forever home—it was my first investment This isn't a success story where everything went smoothly. It's the real experience of buying your first property in a tough market and learning that the mortgage is just the beginning. NEXT WEEK Episode 4: Making It Rental-Ready - where we will cover the improvements I made to the property to get it rental ready.
