Very helpful as first time homebuyers

This podcast has been one of the most informative and beneficial resources for me and my husband as we have been in the process of purchasing our first home. It is not easy in a market like this, but they give solid advice, date and even encouragement on how to make it possible.

Thank you Jeb and Josh for taking the time to break the basics down for us listeners. You guys are awesome!

Air Force ZB ,

Keep the stats coming!

Guys great show! Love that you present stats on the current housing market please keep it going!

I’d love if you guys could pick a specific metropolitan market and present the stats within that specific market as part of your show.

For example, I am in the military and I am looking to buy here in Las Vegas. I’d love it if you could take 10-15 min and just break down the numbers and give your opinion on the local market here (for instance, do you think it’s too hot of a market?) Obviously you can only provide so much advice but I think presenting true data on specific markets would go over well for your audience.

Thanks guys! Keep up the great work!

Perfect for first time home buyers!

This podcast is full of accessible and helpful information that makes homeownership seem possible! I appreciate the clear and nonjudgemental approach y’all take! Thank you!
