    About this ebook

    The homebuying process is challenging, even for seasoned veterans. It will drain you of resources, time, and emotions.

     

    However, keeping your emotions in check is the most difficult part of buying a house. We want to pour so much of ourselves into our future home.

     

    Yet, we need to stay as logical and grounded as possible. Yes, we can use our emotions to make the best choice for our families and futures.

     

    We just cannot let them overtake our wits and mask any red flags. Owning a home is expensive, and getting into a bidding war worsens the situation.

     

    We know our budgets and how much house we can afford. Our emotions will allow us to fight tooth and nail for what we want without getting ourselves into a financial mess. Good Luck!

      01  The Road to Homeownership #2: Reducing Emotions

      Purchasing a home is one of the most emotional experiences of your life. The process will send you to the highs of the mountains and the lows of the valleys.

      I would never suggest removing emotions entirely from the process; however, reducing your feelings to make sound decisions throughout the journey is a great idea.

      Welcome back to the Road to Homeownership series (Part 1), where we make well-informed housing decisions to achieve greatness.

      Turn Your Garden into a Business

      Your home is not an asset. The first step to reducing emotions is understanding that your home is not an asset—meaning it will not make you money.

      "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" can help you understand this concept better. In short, you don’t want to speculate on future home prices as a reason to buy your property.

      Purchase the most functional and beautiful home considering your situation, family needs, and finances.

      Looks can be deceiving. If you have a spouse, you will be in for the ride of your life during the home-buying process.

      In most couples, one person is the financial guru, and the other is the aesthetics expert. It is tough to balance finances and beauty.

      Being Broke Isn’t Cute Part 1: Why Are You Broke?

      Your real estate agent will always appeal to the aesthetics expert because it makes sense. There are so many options and trimmings inside a house that can get people emotional.

      If you have time, read these books on being a real estate agent: "Sold, Skill, and Scale." They will give you some great insight into their tactics to make the sale.

      Avoid bidding wars. If you get emotional about a
