Home buying in cities like NYC, DC, San Francisco, and Los Angeles can seem about as possible as climbing Mount Everest. High prices, low inventory, and cash buyers leave many of us feeling shut out and driven out. But did you know that despite these very real obstacles, there’s still a home out there meant just for you?

In this week’s episode, we talk about how we had to overcome our own obstacles when buying our home here in Orange County, CA, along with our thought process and journey for securing the home perfect for our family. Find out what you should really be considering—beyond the down payment—and the #1 thing every home must have regardless of your budget.

Plus, in this week’s mailbag segment, we talk to listeners about homeowners associations and loan qualifications—two important factors when buying your home!
