How the Nerds Do It: How a Mortgage Nerd Bought a House

Buying a house takes grit, know-how — and, frankly, a good amount of cash.

In this episode of our “How the Nerds Do It” series, mortgage Nerd Kate Wood talks about how she bought her first home, and why she almost fell for a house with a poisoned well. Kate also gives you her tips for buying a house, including the importance of finding a real estate agent whom you can trust.
