David tackles listener questions head-on, revealing insider strategies to conquer bidding wars (even when the market's hotter than ever) and busting the myth that you need to stay put to become a homeowner.

  • Is it possible to buy a home with LESS than 20% down AND make it work for you financially?  
  • Could buying a home actually be BETTER than renting, even if you move in a couple of years?  
  • Is there a way to time the market without missing out on the benefits of homeownership?

07 Nov 2024282 - INTERVIEW: Homebuying in Anaheim, CA (Crisis Averted)00:47:33

Feeling lost in the maze of mortgages and mountains of paperwork? David chats with Stephanie and Kenton, two educators who transformed a real estate nightmare into a homeowner's dream (complete with an award-winning front yard!). Discover how they ditched the "door opener" realtor, embraced their inner spreadsheet ninja, and unlocked the secrets to scoring their perfect SoCal home.



Quote: "It's not just about the price that you're putting on the offer, it's how you're structuring it." - Kenton



Highlights:



  • Could a second chance at your dream home be even sweeter than the first? (Especially after a flipper adds a few upgrades!)
  • What if the key to surviving a bidding war wasn't just about offering more money, but crafting a smarter offer?
  • Is it possible to find a realtor who understands the importance of "no texts after 8 pm" AND knows the ins and outs of the local market?
  • Could your home inspection reveal hidden problems... or uncover unexpected opportunities? (Hint: those pesky termites might just lead to a free treatment!)
  • What if the secret to affording your dream home was as simple as embracing your inner spreadsheet nerd and maximizing those tax credits?

18 Mar 2024224 – Interview With Pedro – Bought With Zero Down, And NOT A VA loan, At 59 Years Old00:24:45

Once upon a time, before the pandemic, rents were better until 2021 and 2022, when rents came surging those years, and the median rent rate was 200 dollars more than it was three years ago. As the rent rates increase over the years, think deeply about whether you should continue renting or start owning a home. Should you continue renting or paying to own a home. Pedro’s wife had some disabilities, and he needed to modify the bathroom, which renting won’t allow renters to do, so he decided to buy a home. Today, Pedro shares his life story as a first-time home buyer buying a home with zero down and paying less than his rent after working with private unicorns. Although Pedro pays $200, he has a house he could call home. Join Pedro in his inspiring story and see it end happily ever after.

03 Mar 2025March 3rd, 2025 - Changing Housing Market Update - 31600:29:38

Mortgage rates are dropping, sellers are slashing prices, and pending home sales are hitting record lows. But what does it all mean for first-time homebuyers? In this episode, David dives into the latest housing market trends, breaking down what’s happening with inventory, interest rates, and buyer demand. Should you wait, or is now still the right time to jump in? The answer may surprise you.

“A recession sounds scary, but guess what? It could actually be great news for first-time homebuyers. Why? Because when the economy slows, mortgage rates tend to drop—and that’s your opportunity to pounce.”


Highlights:


  • Is the market slowing down? Why pending home sales just hit a record low.
  • Mortgage rates dipped—so what now? Are we in for a rate drop or more volatility?
  • Sellers are cutting prices! What that means for you as a buyer.
  • The “window of opportunity” might be staying open longer. How to take advantage before competition ramps up.
  • Inventory is rising—but is it enough? The truth behind housing supply and what it means for affordability.
  • Crash or correction? Why low inventory keeps home prices from collapsing.
  • Two possible scenarios for 2025: A frozen market or a rate-driven buying frenzy—either way, buyers need to be prepared.

22 Jan 2025Choosing a Realtor & Lender | STEP 2 | HOMEBUYING 101 - 30300:58:04

Ever notice how the pros make everything look easy? That's because they have guides who know all the shortcuts. In this episode, David reveals why finding your own real estate "unicorn" – an experienced, caring guide – is the game-changer most first-time buyers miss. Learn why choosing the right team early unlocks hidden paths to homeownership and saves you thousands, even if you think you're not ready to buy.



Quote

"Finding and working all your options - that's the best play to success. And the right people, they have your best interests at heart, and your 'best interest' - that's a phrase that unicorn-type realtors and lenders don't take lightly."



Episode Highlights

  • Could starting with a pre-qualification actually limit your homebuying options? Discover why David recommends finding your "unicorn" realtor before talking to lenders.
  • What if everything you've read online about the first steps to buying a home is backward? Learn why the conventional wisdom about starting with a mortgage pre-qualification might be selling you short.
  • Is your real estate agent just a "door opener"? Uncover the crucial differences between order-taking agents and true professional guides who can reveal paths to homeownership you didn't know existed.
  • How much training do real estate agents actually receive? (Spoiler: It's less than your barber!) Find out why choosing experienced representation is more important than you think.
  • What's the real reason most online advice tells you to get pre-qualified first? David exposes how "big mortgage" tries to capture buyers early and potentially limits their options.
  • Could you be closer to homeownership than you think? Learn why 72% of David's listeners who thought they were 12-18 months away from buying were actually under contract in just over 3 months.

20 Jan 2025STEP 1 | HOMEBUYING 101: Deciding Your Goals - 30200:31:01

In this foundational episode of the "Ten Basic Steps to Buy a Home" series, David Sidoni challenges conventional wisdom by revealing that Step 1 isn't about getting pre-approved or finding a realtor – it's about making the fundamental decision to start planning your homebuying journey. Through real-world examples and myth-busting insights, he demonstrates why deciding to view homebuying as a rent replacement strategy, rather than a new expense, can transform your entire approach to homeownership. This mindset shift, backed by the confidence that comes from understanding the true process, is what sets successful first-time homebuyers apart in 2025's competitive market.


Quote: "Buying a home is not taking on a new crazy expense... Buying a home is a rent replacement strategy."


Highlights:

  • What if you could start planning your home purchase today at no cost, even if you're 2-3 years away from buying?
  • Could your belief in common myths like needing 20% down or a 700+ credit score be holding you back from starting your homebuying journey?
  • Is "waiting for the crash" actually costing you more than taking action now with a solid plan?
  • What's the real reason behind rising home prices in 2025, and how can understanding inventory levels help inform your decision?
  • How might converting your monthly rent payment into mortgage payments help build long-term wealth instead of just covering 30 days of living?
  • Could working with the right professionals earlier in your journey - way earlier than most people think - give you an advantage in today's market?

14 Sep 202154 - Deep Dive On PMI And Refinancing - Planning For The Future As A Homeowner00:20:58

You have to grab business opportunities that are available to you, whether you think it's hard or unattainable. Some of those are PMI, refinancing, and loan to value. How do these all work? In this episode, David Sidoni dives into an article about PMI and refinancing, telling tales of success stories from first-time buyers. However, this is not just an education on how they used PMI and refinancing techniques to drop hundreds of their payments; it's also a warning that these dream scenarios were once in a generation. Should that discourage you from buying a home? No, but David opens your eyes a bit to the reality of using PMI sensibly. He discusses how counting on refinancing may not be an option if you already get a historically low rate – be prepared and know the numbers, and then make this move confidently. People got good things out of it, but make sure you understand how this all works, so tune into this episode!

After helping first timers for over 13 years, I knew there wasn’t t a lot of clear, tangible, useable information out there on the internet, so I started this podcast. Help me spread the word to other people just like you, dying for answers. Tell your friends, family, and perhaps that random neighbor you REALLY want to move out about How to Buy a Home! A really easy way is to hit the share button and text it to your friends. Go for it, help someone out. And if you’re not already a regular listener, subscribe and get constant updates on the market. If you are a regular and learned something, help me help others – give the show a quick review in Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts, or write a review on Spotify. Let’s change the way the real estate industry treats you first time buyers, one buyer at a time, starting with you – and make sure your favorite people don’t get screwed by going into this HUGE step blind and confused. Viva la Unicorn Revolution!

09 Aug 2024255 - 2024 Mid-Year Forecast and Predictions – PART 2 - Home Prices00:36:49

We're diving deeper into the 2024 housing market forecast with the latest data on inventory, prices, rents, and a possible recession. But remember, the most important factor is still LOW INVENTORY! So, are you ready to stop waiting and start acting?



Highlights:



  • "Unlike back in the 2008 Great Recession period, it is not a question of lacking buyers. We still have multiple offers. And it's also not a question about massive supply where it's leading to home prices plunging. We don't have enough supply, so we are hitting record high home prices." - Lawrence Yun, NAR Economist (Uncle Larry)


  • "While inventory nationally and in most markets is higher than one year ago, it remains low from a historical perspective." - Mark Fleming, First American Chief Economist


  • "Expert forecasts lean towards a moderation in home price growth over the next five years. This translate to a slower and more sustainable pace of appreciation compared to the breakout speed witnessed in recent years, rather than a free fall in prices." - Marco Santarelli, Founder of Norada Real Estate Investments


  • "Since 2020, rents have gone up 30%... Have you gotten a 28% pay raise since 2020? If you haven't, then rents suck." - David Sidoni


  • "In every recession since the 1980s, housing has gone up during the recession, just like the bond market is...opposed to the stock market...owning property is your best hedge against inflation when times get tough." - David Sidoni


Referenced Episodes:


  • Episode 198 & 216: Learn about Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) and why it's not the devil.


  • Episode 69 & 106: David Sidoni discusses Dave Ramsey and the math behind homeownership decisions.



General Overview:


In this episode, David Sidoni delves deeper into the 2024 housing market, emphasizing the ongoing inventory crisis as the key factor influencing prices and affordability. He provides insights into the potential for a recession, its impact on housing, and how rising rents further support the argument for buying over renting.

Despite current market conditions, David encourages first-time homebuyers to act now and take advantage of the creative solutions available to make homeownership a reality.

02 Apr 2024230 - NAR Lawsuit - The New Rules For Real Estate And How To Buy A Home – PART 100:32:50

Back in 2019, we made a rather bold prediction that the real estate market, which has been really unfair for first-tome homebuyers in the first place, would soon undergo a massive change. Initially it looks like change is definitely coming with this NAR lawsuit that’s making the headlines lately. But it’s not the real estate revolution we at the buyer’s side were hoping for. In many ways, this bogus lawsuit is even obscuring the real systemic issues and the collusion within the system that screws first-time homebuyers. What does this NAR lawsuit even mean? More importantly, how does it affect you as a first-time homebuyer? Does it change anything? Most likely not, but what can you do about it? Tune in and find out.

12 Nov 2024283 - How Trump Re-Election Will Affect Housing Market00:23:05

Worried the election results might derail your dreams of homeownership? David cuts through the political noise and fear-mongering headlines to reveal what Trump's policies could actually mean for first-time homebuyers, while sharing a surprising stat: 45% of recent buyers secured mortgage rates below 5% despite the high-rate environment.



Quote:



"Don't let the election with a hope for lower rates control your starting point to begin your planning. Don't wait for the solution to come to you and then start your strategy."



Highlights:



  • Could mortgage rates really hit 8% under Trump 2.0, or is this just another clickbait headline?
  • What if Trump's immigration policies actually made the housing shortage worse instead of better?
  • Is the real solution to housing affordability hiding in the fate of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?
  • How did 45% of recent homebuyers score mortgage rates under 5% in this high-rate market?
  • Why might waiting until "after the election" for better housing conditions be the worst strategy?
  • Could Trump's economic policies actually make housing less affordable for first-time buyers?
