#48 - Understanding WHY You Want To Buy Your First Home Will Help You Get In To Your Forever Home Faster
The Mortgage Man - A podcast for everyone with or wanting a mortgageShow Notes
Most people just want a home as a roof over their heads - but then what? It's very likely that your first home isn't going to be your dream home, so how can you use the first home you purchase as a way to also springboard you closer to that next home, or another home?
The people we speak to don't usually think about that next purchase after their first home and how the first home they buy can speed up or slow down the likelihood of buying their forever home.
Yes, house prices usually go up - but if all of the houses go up in value have you actually made any money if you have to buy and sell in the same market?
How can you increase the value of your first home regardless of what the market is doing?
Is buying a new build going to help or hurt your long-term goals?
Do you even care?
In this podcast we go deep on the reasons why people buy and the two main types of first home buyers we see; with the best advice for each type..
Are you a fast mover that is an impulse buy that will take action but maybe without considering all options?
Or are you an over-thinker that has so many questions, over-analyses the process, and is too scared to actually buy?
Maybe you are a bit of both?
What's the best way forward?
The answer is the same for both.
Talk to someone that knows the property, knows the bank's rules and you are comfortable telling them your long-term goals and why you want them.
How can you do that?
