Our Newest Episode - Your First Steps To Home Ownership with Wes Gossage

In this episode of the Making Sense of Money podcast, Tanis sits down with P1FCU’s VP of Mortgage Lending, Wes Gossage, to break down one of the most important first steps in the homebuying journey: getting pre-qualified vs. pre-approved.

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or just need a refresher, Wes walks through what these terms really mean, how they impact your buying power, and why taking that extra step can give you confidence when it’s time to make an offer. Along the way, they cover common mistakes to avoid, what lenders are really looking for, and how different loan options from conventional to FHA and VA, can fit your unique situation.

You’ll also get practical insights on interest rates, down payments, and how to think about your budget in a way that supports both your present and your future. Plus, Wes shares real-world advice on slowing down, asking the right questions, and making a homebuying decision you’ll feel good about for years to come.

If you’re thinking about buying a home or just want to feel more confident in the process, this episode will help you take that next step with clarity.
