In this first episode of the WLG Podcast real estate channel, Austin and Susy pull back the curtain on their journey to buy a $1M + home in Orange County, one of the most competitive real estate markets in the country. We talk through why we chose SoCal over cheaper areas, why national housing headlines do not reflect local markets, getting outbid on 10 + offers, and the costly mistake of making a blind offer on a ($1.19M) property. We also share the unexpected twist of how our current ($1.12M) home came back on the market and how we finally got an offer accepted. Along the way, we break down waiving appraisal contingencies, negotiating repair credits, and using gift funds to help cover $20K + in closing costs. In the next episode, we walk through our full underwriting battle and reveal whether we actually closed, so subscribe and check the link in the description if you are a real estate investor or agent looking for $50K to $150K + in funding for your next deal.
