First-time buyers Brittany and Fred from Dallas, TX, prove you don’t need 20% down to buy a home. With expert guidance from their unicorn realtor, they navigated a seller lease-back, chose a 3% down conventional loan, and moved into their dream home — all while raising their 7-month-old daughter.
In this inspiring episode, David Sidoni chats with Brittany and Fred, a young family who just purchased their first home in Dallas. Their story busts one of the biggest myths in real estate: you don’t need 20% down to buy. Starting out believing they had to save far more, they discovered better options through their unicorn realtor and trusted lender. With excellent credit scores, they secured a 3% down conventional loan, avoiding costly FHA fees. They also used a seller lease-back to sweeten their offer without raising the price, showing how flexibility on timing can be a winning strategy. This episode is a must-listen for any first-time buyer who thinks homeownership is out of reach.
