What do you know?

In this brief episode to lead to the introduction of Dollars & Dwellings, a conversation with my 17 year daughters gives us an understanding of what our kids know about finance and mortgage as they head into adulthood, and it's seriously lacking. 
In my work as licensed mortgage loan officer, I have realized that most of our clients are also lacking knowledge and understanding of the process.
So I am inviting you join me and my guests on every episode from now on to empower you with knowledge and facts about many topics that affects your overall finances.

Welcome to Dollars and Dwellings.
