Knowledge is Your Power For The Freedom of a Worry- Free Home!

Don't let yourself and family become house poor.

If you buy a home that eats up most all of your family's income, this will only lead to a lot of stress your way. Your home may very will look beautiful to folk's from the outside, what about the inside of your home. Is it bleak because you and your family cannot really afford to furnish it to look just as nice. If you end up extending yourself to your financial limits, you could very will become very vulnerable if for some reason your income level ends up changing. Always be sure to buy a home that is really within your means. Don't let anyone talk you into buying a home for what you have been fully preapproved for.

Howdy Dale- As usual you give sound advice. I wished many had kept this in mind; they would have spared themselves grief

Howdy Jennifer

Glad to have you stop by to visit and comment, at my little ol Blogging Homestead.

Thank you. Only if folk's would stop and think, what would happen to our home. If I should be layed off from work, or end up in the hospital. But most folk's want to keep up with others.

Baker Home Inspection and Consulting

Dale,

Some very sound advice sir. This is one of the things that could have gotten us where we are today.

Howdy Don

Glad to have ya stop by to visit and comment, at my little ol Blogging Homestead.

Thank ya kindly. This is only a small part of what has gotten the world of Real Estate Economy in to where it is today. To really get the full picture of today's Real Estate, folk's need to look outside the box, and our Grand Country of America.

Baker Home Inspection and Consulting

Dale - This is so important. Sometimes the excitement of first time home ownership doesn't always give the whole picture. Long term is a key word. They buy the new home, new furniture, new car to go in the drive and all of a sudden there is overwhelming debt.

Howdy Carl and Ceil

Glad to have ya stop by to visit, I always enjoy reading your very fine comments, on my little ol Blogging Homestead. My friend

Folk's do sometimes forget, not to over do it. When it comes to buying things all at once. We all need to just take our time, and buy the things we need over a bit of time.

Baker Home Inspection and Consulting

Dale, great advice my friend. It's so sad to see folks over-extend themselves to buy a home thinking they will be able to keep up the payments and then the unexpected puts them into even more debt. I always caution my clients that just because they're approved up to a certain amount, they don't have to spend to their limit.

Wise words Dale. Many first time homebuyers often don't factor in the costs of home ownership beyond the monthly mortgage payment.

OCT

Great advice as always Dale. People should live in their home, not for their home.

Dale,

Just had to come by and see you...thanks for the comment on my latest post.

I like "seeing" you 'round the rain...your signature line is cool!

OCT

Seems right now many have done just that, over-extended - and now the country is on a debt-control mission. Oh and what a mission that is costing all of us in ways it is hard to imagine now and well into the future.

Dale,

Your post reminded me of the couple in that old movie the Money Pit. Remember that one?

Dale- Great series for 1st buyers. Thanks for posting for everyone to read. Keep the posts coming. Educating the public is a great opportunity.

Best,

Scott

Definitely sound advice -- I love the first-time home buyer series and I think it helps to level-set expectations of their new home. Even if it is a sparkling new home, something is ALWAYS going to break at some point!

Howdy Debbie

my friend

I'm all glad to have you visit, and comment at my little ol Blogging Homestead.

I knew you would be kind enough to caution your clients, that they do not need to buy a home full amount they where approved for.

Howdy Karen

Glad to have you visit and comment, at my little ol Blogging Homestead.

We need to help all home buyers to understand owning a home goes beyond their mortgage payment every month.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Howdy Maxine

Glag to have you stop by to visit, and comment on my little ol Blogging Homestead.

Folk's sure should not have to live their life for their home.
