If you're a dentist weighing whether to buy your first home or your first practice, you know there are big stakes—and it's rarely as simple as "just do both." We get into what really matters when you’re deciding which to buy first, the hidden costs of getting the order wrong, and how current interest rate moves actually impact your timing.
You'll learn how things like community ties, mortgage qualification, student loan balances, and even your future commute should factor into the decision, and what to know about working with doctor-specific lenders.
Key moments:
(01:05) The timing dilemma: house vs. practice and why it matters long-term
(09:47) Why buying a home is an emotional decision, but the practice is your anchor
(12:38) Real-life mortgage qualification issues after buying a practice
(19:29) Building your down payment and practice liquidity at the same time
(23:45) The often-overlooked costs and pain points if you buy the house before the practice
