This one is for the agents AND the buyers out there. Think buying a home in North Carolina is out of reach because of that dreaded down payment? Are you an agent DREADING sharing a down payment assistance program with your client because you are afraid of all the red tape?

Think again! In this episode, we’re chatting with Brenna's favorite local lender partner, Karyn McAlpin with Atlantic Coast Mortgage, and breaking down down payment assistance programs—aka free money (okay, not totally free, but pretty close).

We’ll cover:
🏡 Who qualifies (spoiler: probably more people than you think!)
💰 How much cash you can actually get
🚫 The biggest myths that keep buyers from snagging these deals
🔑 How to use these programs without getting stuck in a bad situation

So, if you’re sitting there thinking, “Ugh, I’ll never save enough to buy a house,” grab your headphones and let’s fix that mindset. By the end of this episode, you might just be closer to homeownership than you thought.
