Real Estate Right Now:
How to Get $15,000 to Buy a Home
Think you need 20% down to buy a home? You may be closer to homeownership than you realize. In this episode of Real Estate Right Now, Dwayne Reese with Linda Craft Team, REALTORS joins Jay to talk about renting versus buying, common homebuying misconceptions, and a North Carolina program that may provide qualified buyers with up to $15,000 in down payment assistance.
They also discuss how mortgage payments can help build long-term equity, situations where renting may still make sense, and why the best place to start is often a conversation about your finances and home buying power rather than simply scrolling through homes online.
