The Epiphany: Are We Starting From Scratch, Again?

We’ve been on a year-and-a-half journey searching for the perfect place to call home. Today, we hit a wall and discuss the challenges of finding available and affordable housing in desirable locations like Guilford, CT versus the abundance of inventory in places like Covington, KY, Knoxville, TN and Chattanooga, TN. Weighing factors like proximity to airports, having a family-friendly home, and living in a welcoming community, we reassess our top contenders and deal-breakers.

Sandra and Nik: An FHA Loan Success Story

When Denise was in Texas, listener Sandra invited her to Boerne to see the house she and husband Nik were having built. Denise was intrigued, but then Sandra told her it was the FIFTH time they were constructing a new home... we had to get to the bottom of why they're such huge fans of starting from scratch.
While we were in Boerne this summer, we sat down with Sandra and Nik to hear how they parlayed an FHA loan into an eventual $2M custom build--and why they STILL hate their window sills. From a killer view to vanishing closets, they're here to tell us all about their triumphs and fails in the land of new construction!
