In this episode, James talks about the trade-offs he had to make, why he didn't go the renting route, and how he fine-tuned his search criteria after getting out there and seeing places in person. He also breaks down what it was like buying at auction, dealing with legal complications, and making sure he was setting himself up for a solid future—not just jumping on the first thing that seemed good on paper.
For anyone trying to figure out how to actually make this whole home-buying thing happen, this chat is packed with real, practical insights. James did the work, and now he's got the keys—his story might just help you do the same.
