Realtors, Nextdoor is a great source for seller leads

Owning your own home is totally doable

Owning your own home is totally doable

I remember a myriad of limiting thoughts crossing my mind including, “there is NO WAY I can afford a home,” or “I don’t have the time or the money to maintain a home” or “owning a home is something you do when you settle down…and renting is still cheaper.” Looking back on those thoughts I can’t help but laugh.
