Welcome to the 20th episode of Military Spouse to Millionaire! This episode is for all of my sellers or future sellers out there!

Even though homes are still selling and sellers are still making a profit from selling, the market has shifted and it’s not like it was in 2021. Fortunately for you, I will always be here to be a reliable point of information and help manage...

Military Spouse to Millionaire

Welcome to the Military Spouse to Millionaire podcast, this episode we’re dialing in on your first thirty days on island while in temporary lodging (TLA). One of the biggest concerns I hear from incoming military families is that they don’t think their TLA time will be long enough to find a home they love.

After 8 years of working with military families, I’ve curated the Finding Home Method, the perfect strategy for navigating island arrival to finding your new home all within your TLA period.

Ep. 15 Not Your Grandma’s Real Estate Market

Military Spouse to Millionaire

Welcome to the Military Spouse to Millionaire podcast! I titled this episode ‘Not Your Grandma’s Real Estate Market’ because so many people will be quick to think that the homes in Hawaii are out of their budget or too expensive when in reality the price tag doesn’t actually matter. I know it’s a bit controversial saying that a high price tag doesn’t matter. But the truth is that just because a home is more expensive here than on the mainland or maybe even of a home you’ve purchased before, doesn’t mean that it’s not within your BAH or military entitlements. The main...

Ep. 14 Don't Make Fear Based Decisions

Military Spouse to Millionaire

Welcome to the Military Spouse to Millionaire podcast episode 14, today we are talking about making fear based decisions. I really wanted to talk about this topic because it does play such a huge role in decision making when it comes to real estate investing or home buying in general. Whether you’re a first time homebuyer or a seasoned homebuyer, fear can play a role and keep you from making that leap into actually purchasing a home. I’m going to discuss my own personal journey and a real estate transaction that I’m currently in that honestly has me fearful. But just because I am scared...

Military Spouse to Millionaire

Welcome to the Military Spouse to Millionaire podcast episode 13, wow we’ve come a long way! I was recently sent a screenshot by a former client from a Facebook Spouses page, bringing up the issue of on post housing and how they are taking all of your money even during pay raises or BAH increases. She even thanked me for helping her family buy a home instead of living on post. It prompted me to create this episode and talk more about this issue more in depth. On this episode, I dive into why giving on post housing your tax free BAH is an absolute scam and waste of money. Did you know...
