In the latest episode of Lex Talk Real Estate, I sat down with repeat guest Austin Wright (United Real Estate Bluegrass) to tackle a common hurdle for homebuyers: "Breaking the Ice" with lenders.
We tend to look a little scary on the outside, but as Austin points out, the goal is to get you on the right path to building wealth, not to judge your spending habits.
Key takeaways from our chat:🔹 Go Local: There is a huge difference between a 1-800 call center and a local trusted lender. Having one point of contact who knows your history solves problems faster than explaining your story to a stranger every time you call.🔹 Rip the Band-Aid Off: Don't wait until you find the perfect house to talk numbers. Getting a quality pre-approval early saves you from the heartbreak of falling in love with a home that doesn't fit your budget.🔹 No Big Purchases: Austin shared a nail-biting story about a client showing up to a final walkthrough in a brand-new truck. 🛑 Pro tip: Don't buy cars or furniture until the keys are in your hand!
Whether you are a first-time buyer or an investor in Central Kentucky, this conversation is packed with value.
