This episode is a must-watch for first-time home buyers, move-up homeowners, and investors who want to understand pre-approval vs. pre-qualification, credit score requirements, debt-to-income ratios, down payments, and closing costs. Leslie explains the key differences between FHA, Conventional, USDA, and VA loans, how mortgage insurance works, and why underwriting and appraisals protect buyers rather than delay them.
