In Chapter 3 of my new book “Along for the Ride” I talk about the first step towards financial freedom. That first step would be to buy your principal residence and it’s so important to take advantage of the principal residence exemption. Other topics in Chapter 3 include leverage and how it works, the power of record low interest rates in paying down your principal at an accelerated rate, getting pre-approved for a mortgage the offer, subject clauses, getting a home inspection, and negotiating and closing the deal.
