Thinking about buying a home? If it's your first time, you'll want to hear this podcast episode. Joining Harlan and Miranda is Mindy Jensen, the community manager for Bigger Pockets, the real estate investing social network. We discuss when it might be right the right time to buy a house, for living or for investing. Especially for first-time home buyers, Mindy takes us through the process of buying a house from beginning to end.
Mindy has been investing in real estate since before dirt was invented, living in the homes that she flips to avoid capital gains taxes. She's flipped nine homes, and is always on the lookout for her next project.
