This interview is so very special because I got to sit down with Inspector and owner of Check it Out Inspections, Chris Zimmerman.

His patience and attention to detail shine through on this interview and I can not recommend him and his team enough for all your inspection needs.

Send us Fan MailHello beautiful listeners! I hope this episode finds you well. I am currently sitting in a hotel room in Austin uploading this episode. I do not typically like diving into the ways of financing a home. I like to lean on our trusted lender partners to explain the process and get into the nitty gritty details. However, the chapter of Your First Home spells out the financing process in 7 steps. It was spelled out so well I felt confident to share their findings with you.  Tune in next week when I bring in a trusted friend and lender into the studio to answer more questions about financing! Thanks for listening and be sure to rate the podcast and subscribe!I record these episodes ahead of time and during this episode I make mention of Hawaii.

Send us Fan MailHi there! First of all thank you so much for checking out my podcast. My dreams for this podcast are to arm you with knowledge so that you feel equipped to become a homeowner. The word homeownership is quite cumbersome and the steps to become one may feel that way too. To quote Johan Wolfgang von Goethe, "Doubt can only be removed by action". So take action, learn what you can, connect with people who can help you achieve your goals and make it happen! Since we are just getting to know each other I will confess that I didn't stumble upon that quote during any intellectual literary readings. I was watching Ted Lasso and Doctor Sharon Fieldstone said it to the main character and it stuck with me. So much of what you may be feeling that can't be done may be more tangible than you think! I hope this podcast gives you knowledge, makes you smile, and enriches your life! Now let's get out there and put a plan into action!
