From Minnesota to Washington - Dave Miller Joins The Tartan Team

Meet Dave Miller — cabinet-maker, finish carpenter, electrician, and the newest co-founder of The Tartan Team — who recently traded Minnesota for Southwest Washington.First episodes are mostly introductions, and this one's no exception: Nick sits down with Dave to get into how he came up in the trades (general construction with his father and uncles, cabinet-making school, his own electrical company) and how he ended up buying his first house at 22 and renovating it room by room while living in it. So when Dave talks about what's worth paying for in a home and what isn't, it isn't theory.Along the way: how century-old Minneapolis housing stock differs from the newer homes out here, why house hacking still holds up for a first-time buyer, which upgrades earn their cost before the drywall goes up, and the line Dave keeps coming back to — the cheapest quote is often the most expensive one. Plus how to spot a house that's been polished up to hide what's underneath.(You'll hear us call this the "Mostly True Real Estate Podcast" a couple of times — that was the working title. We landed on Disclosures.)Hosted by Nick Aufenkamp and Dave Miller of The Tartan Team, brokered by Real Broker, LLC.
