295 - STUCK! Homebuyer Questions Answered 2025

David tackles listener questions head-on, revealing insider strategies to conquer bidding wars (even when the market's hotter than ever) and busting the myth that you need to stay put to become a homeowner.

Quote: "The only way to play the game of timing the market is to get a game piece. And if you don't buy, you don't have a game piece!"  

Highlights:

• What if you could win a bidding war even if your offer isn't the highest?  
• Is it possible to buy a home with LESS than 20% down AND make it work for you financially?  
• Could buying a home actually be BETTER than renting, even if you move in a couple of years?  
• Is there a way to time the market without missing out on the benefits of homeownership?  
• What hidden tricks do realtors know that could give you an edge in a competitive market?
