How Do You Handle the Stress When Buying a Home on Your Own?

Buying a home is easily one of the most stressful things you’ll
ever do, especially when you’re flying solo. Today, we’re
tackling this question from one of our Facebook group members:
how do you get past the terror of making a massive financial
mistake as a single person? We totally get it—between
skyrocketing property prices and the thought of no safety net,
it’s enough to make anyone feel nervous.


So today's episode is all about helping you go through the
rollercoaster of buying on your own. We share some personal
stories about what it’s like to buy without a fallback and the
kind of pressure that comes with knowing it’s all on you. We dig
into some surprising stats—did you know nearly a quarter of
buyers are doing it alone? Yep, that’s right. And what’s
interesting is more women are stepping up, even as the number of
single male buyers has dipped. The question, however, remains: Is
it doable at all?


Join us as we walk you through the process. This episode is full
of advice to help you make the best decisions and come out the
other side feeling good about your purchase. So let's get
started!
