PAY ME NOW, OR PAY ME LATER

 

In the past few years we have had the extraordinary opportunity to get into homes with very little or no money down, and often adding all our closing costs so owning a home, initially cost nothing  to move in.

How neat is that?

Some rules that make this a beautiful concept is the longevity of staying in the home long enough to earn equity.  In our market in Texas that is about 2% per year.

150,000.00 home will earn about 3,000.00 per year.  That means in five years you will have earned enough to pay your closing costs to sell.

Hence , "pay me now, or pay me later".  There is nothing wrong with that concept, IF you know that,going into your purchase.

 

Some proactive things you can do:

1).  Assess the money you saved to purchase, and start a fund to pay back yourself

2).  DO NOT!! get a home equity loan, or use your home for collateral for a personal loan.

3).  DO keep the home squeaky clean , inside and out.  Paint every 1-3 years, clean baseboards, ovens, stove tops and light fixtures on a regular basis.

Just a few things to ponder before getting that"EXTRAORDINARY DEAL"

 

What do you think?

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?

In the 32 years I have been a real estate agent, I sometimes think I have been asked every question about real estate that could possibly be asked, and then there is something new.

What do you want to know, how to become a real estate agent, why become a real estate agent, how does it compare with other professions? Does any one care?

I suppose blogs are designed to enlighten and entertain but hopefully to inform.

A few of my interests are the Mansfield Community Theatre, who is presenting Meet Me in Saint Louis Feb. 19th through 21st. If you love live theatre you will enjoy this.

The Mansfield Chamber of Commerce is thriving in Mansfield, membership is a real boost to most business owners in the area.

Let me know your interests and what you want to learn about real estate or Mansfield.
