#7 Homebuyers don’t always get the support they need in preparing to buy a house. Today, we sit down with mortgage expert Manny Pozas, co-founder of The Mortgage Group, to discuss key considerations and common misconceptions for first-time homebuyers, including costs that are often overlooked or misunderstood such as private mortgage insurance (PMI) and homeowners associations (HOAs). Learn why homebuying isn't just about the down payment, but includes crucial elements like understanding the true costs beyond mortgage payments, navigating property taxes and insurance, and the three critical contingencies that protect homebuyers. Manny shares his personal story of confusion when buying his first condo (due to industry professionals failing to properly educate him) and how it inspired him to help others avoid the same mistakes. Now with 6 years in the lending industry, he uses his professional experience to break down complex concepts. We discuss the value of homeownership in establishing financial security and highlight how leveraging debt can speed up the process of building generational wealth. Every first-time homebuyer needs to listen to this comprehensive guide before making the biggest purchase of their life.
