Today's class was filled with some pretty awesome people!

They showed up on a Saturday, stayed engaged, and asked some really great questions.

The best part? Everyone was there for a different reason, but they all had one thing in common: they were willing to invest time in themselves and their future.

That inspires me every single time.

We sat down with Josie Hatem from the of Nevada Housing Division to talk about the Worker Advantage Program, how buyers are using it to lower their interest rates, and why waiting years to save a down payment may not make sense for everyone.

We also talked about who may qualify, why funds are limited, and some of the real stories we’re seeing right here in Nevada.

If you work in education, healthcare, construction, or as a first responder, you definitely want to give this episode a listen.

Everybody looks successful right now.

The cars.
The vacations.
The designer bags.
The social media posts.

But behind the scenes, a lot of people are financially drowning - and it’s quietly ruining their chance to buy a home..

This week on Mortgage Matters, we had a real conversation about lifestyle pressure, debt, expensive car payments, social media comparison, and why so many people feel financially stuck right now.

We also shared the story of a single mother in Las Vegas who stayed disciplined, avoided becoming “house poor,” and successfully purchased a home using seller credits and Nevada down payment assistance programs.

This may be one of the most important conversations we’ve had in a while.

Nevada set aside $20,000 to help you buy a home. It's called the Worker Advantage Program, and a lot of people who qualify have never heard of it.

If the average rent in Las Vegas is $1,800 a month, you're paying $21,600 a year.

No equity. No ownership. No return.

Just a receipt.

And somewhere out there, your landlord is very, very comfortable.

We're not saying renting is wrong. We're saying if you've been told you can't buy, you might want to get a second opinion.
