In Episode 91 of the Real Life Planning Podcast, Vekevia Tillman-Jones, CFP®, MBA, discusses the first-home-to-rental strategy, a practical approach that allows you to buy a primary residence today while keeping the option open to turn it into a rental later. This strategy is designed for people who want to build wealth without feeling stuck or overcommitted.

From financing advantages to long-term flexibility, Vekevia explains how to think like a planner, not just a buyer, so your first home decision continues to work for you years down the line.

" You do not need certainty. You just need options.” - Vekevia Tillman-Jones
