A Mental Health Approach to Financial Confidence and Buying Your HomeBy Rory E Carothers Sr
Length16h 46m
About this audiobook
Buying a home is not just a financial decision. It is an emotional one. And nobody prepares you for that part.
In Homeownership Without Fear, Licensed Professional Counselor and Army veteran Rory E. Carothers Sr. walks you through the entire homebuying journey the way no lender or agent ever will: feelings first, mechanics second. No commission. No agenda. Just clear guidance from someone trained to help people manage fear, doubt, and big life decisions.
Across 22 chapters, you will learn how to build financial readiness without shame, decode loans and closing costs, protect yourself from scams and predators, negotiate with confidence, and settle into your first 90 days as a homeowner with your peace of mind intact. Veterans will find dedicated guidance on VA loans and the benefits they have earned.
If the thought of buying a home makes your chest tighten, this audiobook was written for you.
Open the book. Quiet the fear. Come home.
