Taylor Schulte: 我们在2013年购买了第一套房,当时我们已经攒了大约15万美元的首付。房子是新装修的,我们请了一位房屋检查员进行了检查,检查员表示他会购买这套房子。然而,入住后不久,我们发现房屋出现了裂缝和其他问题,例如楼梯间的裂缝、木地板翘曲和开裂,以及门下沉。我们联系了建造商,但对方没有回应。由于合同中有一年的保修条款,我们最终决定起诉建造商。诉讼过程持续了三年,我们花费了大约4.5万美元的律师费,最终获得了大约9万美元的赔偿。整个过程中,我们还经历了调解失败,建造商没有参加调解和庭审。在整个过程中,我们还面临着要孩子的压力,以及妻子辞去高薪工作带来的经济压力。最终,我们以现状出售了房屋。通过这次经历,我们学到了很多教训,例如在购房过程中要仔细审查合同,聘请律师,进行额外的房屋检查,以及做好风险管理,拥有足够的紧急现金储蓄。 Joe Salcihai: 我采访了Taylor Schulte,他分享了他和妻子购买第一套房的经历。这套房存在严重的缺陷,导致他们经历了三年的诉讼,花费了大量的金钱和时间。虽然最终他们获得了部分赔偿,但这套房的购买经历给他们带来了巨大的压力和经济损失。这个故事也提醒我们,在购房过程中,要做好充分的准备,仔细审查合同,进行全面的房屋检查,并做好风险管理,以应对可能出现的意外情况。

Shownotes Transcript

The original interview aired on Stacking Benjamins 12-26-2017

As some know, the last several years have been a roller coaster for my family. We poured our life savings into our first home and things didn’t quite go as planned.

The good news? It was just money. And it was just a house. It could have been much worse and we reminded ourselves of that every day.

That chapter of our life is now behind us and I had the opportunity to laugh and vent about it on one of the top business/finance podcasts last year.
