We’ll talk about the truth behind down payments (spoiler: you don’t always need 20%), why relying on Google, social media, or even ChatGPT can’t replace a local real estate expert, and how skipping or misunderstanding home inspections can cost you thousands later. We’re also covering one of the most overlooked rules of home buying: why staying employed and avoiding big purchases during the process can make or break your approval.
