Feeling lost in the maze of mortgages and mountains of paperwork? David chats with Stephanie and Kenton, two educators who transformed a real estate nightmare into a homeowner's dream (complete with an award-winning front yard!). Discover how they ditched the "door opener" realtor, embraced their inner spreadsheet ninja, and unlocked the secrets to scoring their perfect SoCal home.

Quote: "It's not just about the price that you're putting on the offer, it's how you're structuring it." - Kenton

Highlights:

• Could a second chance at your dream home be even sweeter than the first? (Especially after a flipper adds a few upgrades!)
• What if the key to surviving a bidding war wasn't just about offering more money, but crafting a smarter offer?
• Is it possible to find a realtor who understands the importance of "no texts after 8 pm" AND knows the ins and outs of the local market?
• Could your home inspection reveal hidden problems... or uncover unexpected opportunities? (Hint: those pesky termites might just lead to a free treatment!)
• What if the secret to affording your dream home was as simple as embracing your inner spreadsheet nerd and maximizing those tax credits?
