Bonus Mailbag #15: Home Buying and Real Estate




HerMoney with Jean Chatzky show

Summary: In honor of a very happy holiday season, we're celebrating with our HerMoney family with five special Mailbag-focused episodes! Our listeners submit THE BEST questions all year long (to <a href="mailto:mailbag@hermoney.com" target="_blank">mailbag@hermoney.com</a>), and we wanted to get as many as possible answered before 2020 rolls around. In this episode, Jean and Kathryn dive into your questions around real estate and home buying. Jean advises a listener on how to buy a new home when all your money is tied up in your old one, as well as the ins and outs of selling a rental home while keeping some money liquid for a new home purchase. She also advises on whether or not a listener should pay off her mortgage early, or invest the money, and weighs in on whether or not a couple should renovate and sell their home, or stay put. From everyone on the HerMoney team, thank you so much for listening to us in 2019. We can't wait to spend some more quality time together in the New Year!
