5 Essential Tips for Single Homebuyers
Budget
Buying a home on your own is a fantastic move and a great step toward your financial future. But make sure it's a home you can afford if there is a monetary or longer blip in your financial profile.
Maintenance
Being the only person with a set of house keys also means being the only person responsible for maintenance. A leaky faucet and overgrown lawn won't take care of themselves.
Safety & Security
Remember that being a single homeowner doesn't allow for someone to be home the majority of the time. So you will need to consider safety and security issues.
Resale & Longevity
Purchasing a home is a great long-term investment. However, there are many reasons single homebuyers may need to move, such as relocating for a job or a lifestlye change.
Future
You buy yourself a nice little home or condo now. But someday you might not be single and you'll add a significant other to your team and possibly even children.
