Episode #87: The Money Pit Life - Balancing Old House Wants and Needs

In today’s episode, Stacy is back in the Hudson Valley for the second of two shows recorded in front of a live audience. Old houses are money-hungry, and figuring out how to pay for rehabilitation and maintenance can be stressful. Susan and Will Brinson, Bradley Huber, Reggie Young, and Daniel Kanter join Stacy for a panel discussion about finances and budgeting. The panel gets real about how much things cost and their strategies for feeding the money pit and satisfying wants. 

Also, Daniel Kanter joins Stacy for another listener question about deal breakers and red flags in old house real estate.
