7. Think You Can't Afford a Home? Ask First. | Tacoma First-Time Buyer Myths
Episode notes
Think you need 20% down and a giant savings account before you can even think about buying a home? That assumption may be keeping you on the sidelines before you've ever explored your options.
In Episode 7, Guy and Wil break down some of the biggest myths surrounding homeownership in Tacoma and Pierce County—from down payments and earnest money to closing costs, seller concessions, VA financing and down-payment assistance.
They also get into the question that matters more than any headline: does buying actually make sense for YOU?
Whether you're a first-time buyer, haven't owned in years, or have simply assumed homeownership is out of reach, this episode is about getting informed before disqualifying yourself.
Because sometimes the first step toward buying a home isn't saving another $20,000.
It's asking the question.
