Realty Reality | Ep 25. The Illusion of a dual income
In a new series where we discuss property topics that deal with real-life situations, we talk about how YOLO/conservative you should be when it comes to purchasing a house. Just because you have a dual income, does that mean you should buy a more-expensive house?  We also talk about what happens if the homeowners face losing the source of an income, a divorce and death. What can people do then? How will the Government help, or will the Government even step in?? We also share about our childhood trauma regarding our names.

Shorts: The Pledge (not what you think)
We, the rich uncles of homebuyers, pledge our funds to one, united bank. Pledging (and un-pledging) property may be an uncommon term for many of us, but it's essentially a transaction of trust.

But, what if you could use that staycation deposit, to upgrade and stay in the honeymoon suite instead? Tune in to find out more about pledging, from our outtakes in Ep. 20.
