I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this play out…

Someone falls in love with a house, only to realize later—it’s way out of budget.
The granite countertops? The huge backyard? The dreamy soaking tub?
Yep… all just out of reach.

Here’s how to actually protect yourself from heartbreak before house hunting:

✔️ Start with a solid pre-approval – this isn’t just a number, it’s your home-buying roadmap.
✔️ Know your full costs – think beyond the down payment: closing costs, inspections, taxes.
✔️ Set your emotion-to-logic ratio – loving a house is great, but staying within your means is even better.

Comment “START” and I’ll walk you through the numbers—no pressure, just clarity.
