  • How YOU Can Afford a House in 2026!

    How YOU Can Afford a House in 2026!
    Apr 15 2026
    Vivian sat down with Elizabeth and Ethan Finkelstein, founders of "Cheap Old Houses," and hosts of HGTV's Who's Afraid of a Cheap Old House, for a conversation about home ownership in the modern era. 1. How Ethan and Elizabeth turned a passion for affordable homes into a 2.9 million follower movement, and why they believe a cheap old house is actually a smarter financial move than a brand-new build. 2. The green flags and red flags to look for when buying a fixer-upper, how much money and time to realistically budget for a renovation, and which projects you can DIY versus when to call a pro. 3. How to find deals that never show up on Zillow, what resources exist to save money during renovation, and the secrets behind buying a house for $27K at auction. Keep up with the Finkelsteins' on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cheapoldhouses/, watch their HGTV show Who's Afraid of a Cheap Old House, and grab a copy of their book at https://www.cheapoldhouses.com/book/.

Ok, I'm very new to the podcast world in general but this one is the truth! Very informative on the financial literacy all generations from Millennials on down need. I highly recommend.

A must listen!!!

I really like that the host seems very knowledgeable and well researched but comes at some of the topics from a novel angle. Very good explanations in common language (I only googled one thing and it was a cultural reference not a financial term) while being very warm and it does not come off as a lecture. She really addressed the emotions around the information in a way that felt genuine.

Good information
