I'm 80... I Never Owned a Home Until I Was 65

Описание: In this video, an 80-year-old woman shares her unconventional path to homeownership, explaining why she spent 65 years as a renter before finally buying her first house and how that decision transformed her sense of identity and belonging. She reveals how military life, financial priorities, and life circumstances kept her family moving through rentals for decades, and why she thought homeownership had passed her by after becoming a widow in her fifties. This candid conversation covers late-in-life homeownership, overcoming the fear of taking on a mortgage as a senior, the emotional difference between renting and owning, finding the courage to start over, and why it's never too late to put down roots. This message is for older adults considering homeownership, anyone who thinks they've missed their chance at buying a house, and families navigating major housing decisions later in life.

Real estate wisdom from real experience. No market predictions. No sales tactics.
This channel features candid conversations with people in their 70s and 80s sharing the housing choices that defined their lives - the homes they fought for, the properties they walked away from, and the addresses that became part of their identity. These are the stories your realtor never shares - about family homes torn apart by inheritance fights, perfect houses that became prisons, and the winding journey to discover what "home" really means.
