🎙 What You’ll Learn in This Episode
Why mindset and clarity are crucial before starting house hunting
How to assess your financial readiness and credit posture
What professionals to assemble on your home-buying team and when to bring them in
How probate and trust buying scenarios differ — and the special considerations Tobias and Steve bring to the table
