Sadly, this past week was the anniversary of the night that music died. AKA the avoidable plane crash that killed both Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens. According to reports, the 21-year-old pilot departed around 1:30 a.m. and shortly thereafter encountered complete darkness and blizzard conditions at 15 degrees, and 36 mph winds. Air traffic controllers gave the pilot weather reports several times from 5:30 p.m. until takeoff. The pilot was only certified for clear weather, not Instrument Flight Rules. I have more experience flying in instrument conditions than this pilot had. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This is the same cause of JFK Jr’s and Kobe Bryant’s fatal plane crashes. All three tragedies have one thing in common. The pilots ignored warning signs and the wise counsel of others. In the real estate world, costly mistakes are made every day resulting in heartbreaking losses. A wise man learns from his mistakes. A genius learns from the mistakes of others. When you can keep your head, when those around you are losing theirs, it may mean that you do not thoroughly understand the situation.
Today, we have our subject matter expert, Alisha Neff from Idaho Central Credit Union (ICCU) and she is going to help us avoid some of the first-time home buyer catastrophes.
