You can do it

“I’ll Never Be Able to Buy a Home.”

(Most of my buyers started right there.)

If you’ve ever said that sentence — out loud or quietly to yourself — this is for you.

Not the “six-figure salary, perfect credit, zero debt” version of you.
The real you. The one paying rent. The one doing the math in your head and already deciding it won’t work.

Here’s the truth no one tells you:

Most first-time buyers don’t believe it’s possible… until the moment it is.

The belief that stops people before money ever does

I talk to people every week who assume they’re not ready:

“My credit isn’t good enough.”
“I don’t make enough.”
“I need to save way more.”
“I’ll just wait until things are perfect.”

Perfection is a myth.
Readiness is built — not waited for.

Most buyers don’t start with confidence.
They start with questions, doubts, and a quiet hope they’re afraid to say out loud.

What actually changes everything

It’s rarely a sudden raise or lottery-level savings.

What changes things is clarity:

Knowing what programs exist (most people don’t)
Understanding your numbers instead of guessing
Seeing a path instead of a wall

Once someone sees the path, the fear softens.
Once the fear softens, action becomes possible.

The moment that never looks like Instagram

Closing day isn’t champagne and confetti for most first-time buyers.

It’s a table.
Paperwork.
A pen that suddenly feels heavier than it should.

And then a pause.

That moment where they look up and realize:
“I didn’t think I could do this… but I just did.”

That’s the moment that matters.

If you’re reading this thinking, “Maybe… but probably not”

You don’t need to decide today.
You don’t need to commit.
You don’t need to be “ready.”

You only need to be willing to find out.

Because the biggest lie renters tell themselves isn’t about money —
it’s about what they believe they’re capable of.

And belief is often the first thing we change.

If this felt uncomfortably close to home, that’s not an accident.
It’s usually the first sign you’re closer than you think.
