First-Time Buyer Myths Busted 👇🏼
❌ Myth: You need 20% down
✅ Fact: Many first-time buyer loans start at 3–5%, and some programs even help with down payment assistance.
❌ Myth: Renting is always cheaper
✅ Fact: While rent can feel lower month-to-month, owning builds equity and long-term wealth you don’t get from renting.
❌ Myth: Skip the inspection to save money
✅ Fact: Inspections uncover hidden issues - skipping one could cost you thousands after closing.
❌ Myth: Zillow knows a home’s value
✅ Fact: Online estimates can be off by tens of thousands - local comps and market knowledge are far more accurate.
❌ Myth: You don’t need an agent
✅ Fact: A buyer’s agent is usually free to you and can save you money, stress, and mistakes during the process.
