Tired of feeling like you'll be a forever renter? In this episode, we expose the biggest lies holding 35% of Americans back from homeownership – from the 20% down myth to credit score fears and waiting for perfect rates.

Using the classic movie Elf as inspiration, we show how "believers" and "non-believers" experience completely different realities in the same economy. Learn practical mindset shifts, real affordability strategies, low/down-payment options, credit truths, and our latest 2025 mortgage rate predictions (could we see 4%?).

Plus, we break down key home-buying terms like contingencies, earnest money, inspections vs appraisals, home warranties, and LTV – in plain English.

If you're ready to stop waiting and start building wealth through homeownership, this is for you.
