🏡 Buying or Renting Your First Home? The Ultimate Guide with Blasco and Corrado from Casa a Prima Sight! Want to live on your own but your bank account is crying out loud? 😭 Welcome to a new, unmissable episode of Skill Factor, the Skuola.net vodcast that compares points of view on thorny issues like the one we're tackling today. We're talking about the generational trauma par excellence: buying your first home vs. renting*. And to survive this jungle, we called on the real estate champions: *Blasco Pulieri and Corrado Sassu, the famous and beloved agents starring in the cult TV show Casa a Prima Vista (Real Time / Nove) and hosts of the highly popular podcast Salone Doppio (@SaloneDoppio_podcast).

Together with our director Daniele Grassucci, Blasco and Corrado debunk the boomer myths ("rent is a waste of money! 👴🏻") and explain, with numbers in hand, why Gen Z and Millennials struggle so much to leave home compared to their Northern European peers. Fifty percent of young people between the ages of 25 and 34 still live with their parents, compared to a paltry 4% in Denmark or Finland.

Corrado and Blasco explain that behind this statistic lie extremely high economic barriers: taxes, notary deeds, agencies, and the chronic difficulty of getting a 100% mortgage if you don't have a solid contract or a "grandma" ready to lend you a hand. 👇 IN THIS VIDEO YOU'LL DISCOVER: The hidden costs of buying a house: How much do you really need to have saved in your bank account?
