概要

Buy Back Your Life is the real estate and generational wealth-building podcast for first-time home buyers who are done with the Real Estate TV hype and ready for the math, the process, and the truth.


I’m Tara Tillman – Broker, real estate ownership advocate, and former songwriter on Grammy-nominated albums for Mary J. Blige and Destiny’s Child – and I’ve spent 20+ years helping everyday buyers become confident homeowners and investors, whether they’re purchasing on one income or two.


On this show, you’ll hear unvarnished conversations with real people: first-time couples buying together, single moms purchasing on one income, buyers rebuilding after divorce, and families slowly stacking properties to build long-term and generational wealth. We break down:


  • How to buy your first home without becoming house-poor
  • What lenders, agents, and builders don’t always tell you up front
  • Real numbers: credit scores, down payments, monthly payments, and closing costs
  • How to avoid predatory “advice” and costly rookie mistakes
  • Practical steps if you’re 6–12 months away from buying
  • What changes (and what doesn’t) when you’re buying on a single income


If you’re serious about making smarter moves with real estate — as a first-time buyer, a couple purchasing together, or someone starting over on your own — this podcast gives you the clarity and confidence you’ve been missing.


No fluff. No scare tactics. Just real stories, real strategies, and step-by-step breakdowns so you can buy back your life one decision, one property, and one paycheck at a time.


New episodes drop monthly.
Follow the show, then save the episodes that match where you are right now — and start moving from “I hope we can buy” to “Here’s our closing date.”

  • Buying a Home on One Income - A Single Moms True Story

    Buying a Home on One Income - A Single Moms True Story
    2026/02/23

    Single Black women are one of the fastest‑growing homebuyer groups. This is how one mom did it on one income. In this episode, we break down exactly how it happened — step by step, with real numbers. If you’re a first-time home buyer, renting, or starting over after a breakup or divorce, this is your roadmap.

    In Episode 1 of the Buy Back Your Life Podcast, Tara sits down with Shannon, a single mom of two, who bought a home on 1 income using an FHA loan with just 3.5% down. Together, they compare renting vs buying unpack credit scores, interest rates, and lender “games,” and show you what it actually takes to qualify for a mortgage as a first-time homebuyer.

    You’ll learn:
    • How a single mom qualified for an FHA loan with 3.5% down
    • FHA loan benefits and basic requirements in plain English
    • What lenders really look at: credit score, debt, and income
    • Renting vs owning: where your money actually goes every month
    • How to compare interest rates and loan offers the smart way
    • Common mistakes first-time home buyers make when they feel rushed or desperate
    • How to ask better questions so you don’t get taken advantage of

    This episode is for you if:
    • You’re a first-time home buyer and feel like the market is stacked against you
    • You’re a single mom or recently single, trying to buy a home on one income
    • You’re tired of funding your landlord’s retirement and want to build wealth
    • You’ve heard about FHA loans but don’t understand how they really work

    About your host:
    I’m Tara Tillman, Real Estate Broker with 20+ years of experience, licensed in NC, SC, GA, and PA. I went from writing on Grammy-nominated albums to building a real estate brokerage, and I’ve learned one thing: the process feels overwhelming when there's a lack of knowledge, and knowledge is power.

    You’ve rented your lifestyle long enough. It’s time to own your future.
