It’s actually a great idea to talk to any potential neighbors for a house you want to make an offer on.

Neighbors can have a huge impact on your happiness in your house so it’s worth the time and initial awkwardness to talk to the people around your potential new house.

They’ll likely be more than happy to answer any of your questions about the house and the area! . . . #grandjunction #westslopebestslope  Ditch the harsh chemicals and unclog your pipes naturally using these steps! Clogged sink and shower drains are a common occurrence for most of us. But did you know that you don’t have to use harsh, corrosive chemicals to take care of those clogs?

Plus, these methods are much better for your plumbing compared to those corrosive drain cleaners. Your pipes will thank you if you stick to these steps. P.S. Save this post so you have it handy when your next drain gets clogged! . . . #cleanhome #nontoxic  Pinterest is a great place to get inspiration for your home (or home-to-be).

Maybe it’s as simple as rearranging a display on your bookcase or switching the layout of your bedroom. P.S.

When it comes to buying a home in 2023, you really have 2 options. 1) Wait until interest rates drop and see what kind of home you can get 2) Or buy the home that’s right for you now and refinance down the line If you’re at a point in your life where you’re ready to buy a home and it makes sense for you to do so, the equity you build will make it worth the higher initial rate. Remember: you’re not married to your interest rate. When rates drop in the future, you can refinance your mortgage and have the best of both worlds: a lower rate and a home that’s building your financial future! Want to talk more about whether or not buying a home right now is the right move for you?

Even when you’re buying a home for yourself and your family, you’re making an investment in your financial future. You have to build up your equity and let your property values rise over the span of years before you can cash out your investment. But when you do wait and play the long term investment game, you’ll find that real estate is definitely worth the wait when you get that high return on investment or ROI. When you focus on building your wealth through high ROI, long term investments, you may need to make some short-term sacrifices. Maybe you put off the new car for a year, or skip that vacation to Cabo once. These tradeoffs are so worth it when you cash out your real estate investment down the line!
