About this listen
🎧 Episode 4: Budgeting as a homeowner
Buying your first home is exciting — but it can also be overwhelming if you don’t know what to look out for. In this episode of the Insure Your Future Money Bootcamp, Maya Fisher-French and I chat about the home-buying journey of one of her mentees, who’s right in the middle of it all.
We share the real stuff — the lessons, the “I wish I’d known” moments, and the practical tips that can save you a lot of stress (and money) down the line. From understanding what levies and maintenance costs actually mean for your budget, to why a home inspection is non-negotiable, we break it all down.
We also get into the nitty-gritty of mortgage shopping: why you shouldn’t just stick with your current bank, the benefits of a bond originator, and how some banks are offering 110% mortgages for first-time buyers.
Whether you’re a year away from buying or just starting to dream about it, this conversation will give you the tools — and the confidence — to make smart, informed decisions.
