In this video, I’m breaking down the 5 things I wish I could tell every person moving to Idaho BEFORE they sign a contract. What we’re covering: The Sales Rep Trap: Why that "friendly" person in the model home is legally required to work against you. The 4% Rate Lie: How builders bake the cost of your "low rate" into a higher purchase price (and how to spot it). The $30,000 "After Keys" Bill: Why a $411k house actually costs $450k the day you move in (Landscaping, blinds, and appliances). The Tax Reassessment & CID: The hidden "private tax" that most agents "forget" to mention until your payment jumps $400/month.

Buying land in Idaho? This is the video I wish existed before I watched clients lose tens of thousands of dollars on dirt. 🚨The Idaho Land Buyer's Due Diligence Checklist https://share-na2.hsforms.com/2YgLWgkR6Q86gUO0wqeHJAA4211gz I'm breaking down everything — water rights (you don't own the water), wells ($20K or $80K depending on where you buy), septic, zoning, overlay zones, power line costs, access, impact fees, and financing. Every cost range. Every phone call you need to make. Every trap I've watched buyers fall into. Idaho led the nation in property appreciation over the last decade at 158%. That means dirt that used to be ignored is now premium real estate — and there are no accidental discounts.
