How Being Debt Free Makes Me A Better Realtor
Summary:
On today's episode, we're talking about the fact that being debt-free has made me a better realtor.
Sneak peeks:
“At some point, I need to get the real expert and the brains of our family operation on here: my wife. She’s good with money and probably the only reason we have a dime to our name. We followed Dave Ramsey's principles and plans, even during the hard few months that I've shared about previously when I only made a few thousand dollars.”
“When you're struggling financially or not making it, there's this pressure that you feel. And I think it almost comes out of you, even if you don't want it to. Like, ‘Oh my goodness, you need to buy a house.’”
