In this episode of Follow The Money, we break down the hidden costs that come with buying a home — the ones many first‑time buyers never see coming.

Award‑winning Certified Financial Planner Gerald Mwandiambira joins us to unpack what every buyer should budget for before signing on the dotted line, and how to avoid financial surprises on your journey to homeownership.
