Everything You Need To Know About Buying a Home in 2023
- Zoom
- $29
GRAB THE RECORDING!
It's a house party! And you're invited.
Should I buy a home?
And if so — how?!
Home prices continue to skyrocket. Mortgage rates are high. Some say buy now. Some say don't. It's hard to know who to trust and that's partially because this is a deeply personal choice. There is no one right path.
This workshop will kick off with a hearty discussion about the current real estate market. Then, we will show you how to run the numbers when purchasing a home. (For the love of Beyoncé, you must run the numbers!)
Home-buying is one of the largest financial commitments of your life. Make this decision with a rock-steady educational foundation. Be clear and financially confident in your choice.
