Episode #407

Are you tired of paying someone else’s mortgage? Then you’re in the right place. In today’s show, we’re sharing how to buy a home in 2024, even as a complete beginner, as we walk through a rookie’s stepbystep journey to purchasing his first primary residence, which could also become a rental! If you feel like you’re in the same position and want to be the receiver, not the sender, of monthly rent checks, tune in as we walk through how today’s rookie is gearing up to become a firsttime homebuyer!

Aaron Mann was tired of renting. After being around real estate investors at his day job, he started to feel like he was missing out. Meanwhile, his wife was reading a slew of BiggerPockets books and told Aaron it was time to look into buying—he agreed! This couple is now beginning their househunting journey and has already zeroed in on their strategy, investing area, and what they want to buy. With the help of our own Ashley Kehr in the BiggerPockets Real Estate Rookie Bootcamp, Aaron is set to close on his first home in the near future. Want to get YOUR first rental property or primary residence this year? Tune in and start taking these beginner steps!
