Purchasing your first home can be overwhelming. Here, I will discuss how I was able to achieve this at 23, by myself. Standing on my dirt lot where my home would be built (January, 2019) Owning a home is a huge investment! It is an incredibly satisfying feeling to have freedom to design a home without restrictions and without answering to a landlord. Owning a home is an investment and in this post, I will talk through how I took a risk and how it has paid off, 4 years later.
