Set for Life

Praise for Scott Trench’s Books

“It’s not often a book is written that could completely change the mindset of a generation… but I believe Scott has written that book.”

–Brandon Turner, best-selling author of The Book on Rental Property Investing and How to Invest in Real Estate

“Having rented my whole life, I had no clue what the whole house-purchasing journey would entail… And it really is a journey. Thankfully, Trench and Jensen have laid every aspect out, meaning that readers will be better informed regarding anything to do with money or people.”

–Rachel Dehning, Portland Book Review

“This book is the first, and maybe most important, investment you can make in buying your first home. There are a lot of moving parts when buying a house, and Scott and Mindy present each step with simple and precise language, seasoned with a dash of humor.”

–JL Collins, author of The Simple Path to Wealth

“Scott and Mindy have written an exceptionally clear guide that’s both counterintuitive and practical. It will help you find the best home, make the best investment, and help you potentially save hundreds of thousands of dollars. The ROI on this book is insane… I’m giving it to anyone who asks for advice on how to buy a first home.”

–Grant Sabatier, Author of Financial Freedom and Creator of Millennial Money

“In First-Time Home Buyer, Scott and Mindy helped this long-time renter feel like buying a home doesn’t have to be so daunting! You’ll get answers to questions you didn’t even know you should have.”

–Erin Lowry, author of the Broke Millennial series

“It’s a rare treat when a book helps you see the world more clearly, and First-Time Home Buyer does just that. Instead of platitudes surrounding home ownership like “it’s the American Dream” or “it’s your biggest investment,” Scott and Mindy give a real-world masterclass on what to truly consider when purchasing your first home. This should be required reading for anyone looking to purchase a home!”

–Brad Barrett, Co-host and co-founder of the ChooseFI Podcast

“If you’re a first-time home buyer, do not, I repeat, do not buy a home without reading this book first. From detailed renting vs. buying math, to loan types, to home inspections, to advice about pitfalls you need to avoid, authors Scott and Mindy do a great job teaching you everything you need to know to become a financially responsible homeowner. Buy this book, you won’t regret it.”

–Kristy Shen, Co-author of Quit Like a Millionaire
