I am continually fascinated by the burning desire among graduating medical students and even residents, and particularly their spouses, to purchase a home as soon as is humanly possible despite having a net worth of a negative $200,000 or $300,000. I try to talk them out of it but I know many will do it anyway. I'm often asked for referrals for realtors that work frequently with physicians. I want you to buy the right house at the right time. This episode introduces a new WCI partner, Curbside Real Estate, that can help you buy your home when the time is right.
