RE: First Time Home Buying Prep

There's nothing wrong with living in an apartment, as long as it's your and your family's home and filled with love. You can be rich and live in a ten bed mansion with a swimming pool, but if the family don't even have time to get together for dinner or even see each other every morning, then what's the point?

We just bought our new house recently, it's not the first one we bought together, but it's going to be our forever home (unless I win the lottery), and luckily we're very happy with it. I mean it's not 100% perfect (is anything?) but we're content, and no point dwelling on things that we think could be better.

One tip I would give is to look beyond the decor of any property you're viewing. If it's really nice either the
owner loves their home (lucky you) or they done a quick patch job to cover up defects for a quick sell. If it looks old and in need of TLC, as long as it's structural sound and safe, sometimes you can find very good deals if you don't mind doing it up yourself. You could potentially save a bit of money and you can put your mark on your new home.

Good luck with your search!!

PREACH Living!! Yes!! That's the point I've come to. As long as we are together with a roof over our heads I have no complaints. We are so blessed to have a place to live.

Congratulations on your new home!! I think I remember you doing a post about that. Wow a forever home, sounds so nice. We would love to purchase land and build our forever home one day. Baby steps though right? 😂

Oh bless you. I am the one that would
get sucked in by the “looks” of it. I know they showcase homes and people that see them fall in love with what’s on the surface. I really want us to be smart and make sure we look at the foundation and as you said structure of it. I wouldn’t mind doing a little fix up if it’s a solid place.

Thank you so much for your sweet words and these wonderful tips. I’m taking note (literally)! 🤗💓
