Buying A Home- The Advantages of Buying Smaller...
Who wouldn't like to live in a home that fits their dreams and lifestyle wants. But sometimes life hits you and you have a choice to make...
Budget and wisely buy something within your monthly means or over extend yourself to the point of stressing out your family.
The choice is yours but don't think that just because you have to buy a smaller house, doesn't mean that your dreams can't become a reality...
Here is what most are doing now instead of buying a home:
They are building their own small homes and pocketing the retail profit that would have to gone to builders and middle men.
Here is how you start this:
Find simple house plans, either online or through your local home improvement store. Try to stick with simple designs, your creativity is what will make the home unique not the plan itself.
Whats going to make a difference is the cost of materials, the reduced cost of electric bills and heat. Imagine reducing all your in home bills 50%, awesome huh?
Another option you can peruse is doing the work for yourself and not hiring a contractor. Most people when doing this end up ahead and having equity they can borrow off the home if they have any unforeseen financial issues come up.
This is a very good blanket to have because they are easy to qualify for and the interest rates can not be beaten.
The economy today can be harsh, so finding creative ways to buy a home is sometimes required. The average price in America for a single family home is $250,000.
Now include mortgage interest, utilities, landscaping, unforeseen maintenance, taxes and county fees. All these small payments can add stress to your family and keep you from creating an ideal lifestyle longterm.
