Real estate advice is everywhere—but that doesn’t mean all of it is true.

In Episode 15 of The Next Move: A Central Texas Real Estate Podcast, Jennifer Bruns and Matt Dick are tackling some of the real estate “facts” buyers and sellers have heard for years that may be outdated, misunderstood, or just plain wrong.

Can you really use a VA loan more than once? Are FHA and VA appraisals as scary as people make them sound? Is an appraisal basically the same thing as an inspection? Why can Zillow, Realtor.com and other third-party websites get a Texas home’s value wrong? And what does it actually mean that Texas is a non-disclosure state?

We’re breaking down the misconceptions that can cause buyers and sellers to make decisions based on bad—or seriously outdated—information.

In this episode, we talk about:

• VA loans and the myth that they’re a one-and-done benefit
• FHA and VA appraisals—what appraisers are really looking for and why this isn’t 1980 anymore
• Appraisals vs. inspections and why they serve two completely different purposes
• Online home values and why third-party sites may not have all the information they need in Texas
• Texas as a non-disclosure state and why that matters when determining market value
• Common assumptions buyers and sellers bring into a transaction that can affect their decisions
• Why getting information from someone who understands the Central Texas market matters

Some real estate rules have changed. Some were never rules in the first place. And some things get repeated so often that everybody assumes they must be true.

So before you let something you heard from a friend, family member, social media—or the internet—determine your next move, there’s one question worth asking:
