    Helping a 22-Year-Old Buy a House (Not As Hard As You Think!) | Roots Pod #45

    Helping a 22-year-old buy a house might sound impossible — but when you run the numbers, it’s often easier than people think. In this episode of The Numbers Show with Max, Max Moore (Co-Founder of Roots Realty Co.) breaks down a real listener’s financial situation to show how a first-time buyer can purchase their first property in Indianapolis right now, not “someday.” We walk through income, savings, student loans, lending strategy, and a realistic house-hacking plan that turns a starter purchase into a long-term real estate investing runway. This episode is for young professionals, first-time home buyers, and aspiring real estate investors who want clarity, not hype. If you’ve ever asked: – “Can I afford to buy a house?” – “Should I wait or buy now?” – “How do people my age actually get started?” This breakdown is for you. 👇 READY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP? 📩 STEP 1 – Stay in the loop Sign up for our newsletter: https://rootsrealty.co/join-roots-newsletter Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RootsRealtyCo?sub_confirmation=1 Come to our next live event: https://rootsrealty.co/events 📅 STEP 2 – Get expert advice Book a free intro call with Max or Tyler: Max: https://bit.ly/4fQMRmW Tyler: https://bit.ly/3PMrJ6G 🤝 STEP 3 – Get matched with an agent https://rootsrealty.co/buy/book-a-consultation 🎟️ Join the Next Masterclass: https://bit.ly/roots-masterclass 🌱 Come to our Next Coffee & Connect: https://bit.ly/roots-cofeeconnect 📸 Follow Us Roots Realty Co: https://www.instagram.com/roots.realty.co/ Max Moore: https://www.instagram.com/maxxmoorre/ Tyler Lingle: https://www.instagram.com/tyler_lingle/ Disclaimer: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.
