Did you fail to give your landlord a gift last Christmas?

Last year, I published the best five possible gifts to give your landlord.  They are repeated here for your reference.

5.  Tell him you're moving out in May.

4.  Tell him you're moving out in April.

3.  Tell him you're moving out in March.

2.  Tell him you're moving out in February.

1.  Tell him you're moving out in January.

 Many folks made the decision last year and chose from the above list.  In the event that you missed the opportunity, now is the time to make up for your omission.  If you're still in that temporary place you're trying to call home, why not make a commitment to yourself and those you love to upgrade your lifestyle before another year gets away from you? 

I know your lease probably runs until May or June, but buying a home takes more time than many buyers often allow.  Let's talk about 2012 and how to avoid the annual rent increase.  You owe it to yourself to at least check out your options.  Call me if you have questions or information requests.  Also call if you would like to arrange a convenient time for a home buyer strategy consultation.  There's no cost or obligation, and you will learn just how easy it is to escape the land of the bland to a real home with real colors on the walls and a real yard for the kids and the real dog you can finally welcome into your real home.
