First-time home buyer? After this episode, you’ll see the house-hunting process in an entirely new light. Throw out the granite countertops and exposed beams you’ve always dreamed of because making an emotion-first home-buying decision could ruin your financial future. If you’re trying to build wealth, you’ll want to follow Scott Trench’s home-buying checklist, which may show that renting is the best money move you can make.
The roles are reversed on today’s show because this ISN’T the BiggerPockets Money podcast; It’s Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin! Scott recently joined Nicole to talk transparently about the realities of buying your first home. In this show, Scott and Nicole go through why homeownership is falling across the US, whether or not buying in 2023 even makes sense, and why your house ISN’T what you think it is.
Plus, if you’ve been debating buying a rental property, Scott has some words of wisdom you MUST take to heart before putting in offers. You’ll also hear why SO many landlords are wrong about LLCs (DO NOT miss this section) and the EXACT steps you should take to put yourself in the best home-buying position possible!
