Questions
Is this financial advice?
No. The kit is educational. It explains the math, the public data, and the process. It never tells you what to do, which loan to choose, or what you can afford.
Do you earn money from lenders?
Never. CandidCost is not a lender or broker, takes no lender payments, and sells no leads. The kit is the product — a one-time $49 purchase.
What if it is not for me?
A 30-day, no-questions refund. If the kit does not help you feel more prepared, you get your money back.
