This "Burn Your Boats" episode reveals a game-changer for aspiring homeowners: FHA loans are back in business!

David Shaw shares a recent experience selling a Florida duplex to a young couple using an FHA loan. Despite requesting seller concessions for half their down payment and closing costs, the deal was a win-win.

The couple put down just $16,000 (1.5%!) on a $555,000 duplex. By living in one unit and renting the other, their net monthly housing cost is an incredible $1,211 – or just $600 each! This immediately makes them real estate investors with tax benefits.

This episode is a powerful message: FHA loans are now a viable path to homeownership, offering significantly lower costs than renting.

Share this with anyone who thinks homeownership is out of reach – it's time to seize the opportunity!

Soundbites:

"FHA loans are back in business!"

"Imagine that that's living for $600 a month. They're now real estate investors. They now get property tax deductions. They get their depreciation on the property."

"What I think is happening is buyers are now in the driver's seat and buyers know that they can go out and get a deal."
