Everyone remotely involved in the real estate business will be quick to encourage you to buy a house. It is a great time to purchase…yadda..yadda…yadda… ad infinitum.
Here is the definitive test of whether you are ready to purchase a home. If you are.....
- desire to become a repairman/handyman
- ready to spend Saturdays doing lawn work
- ready to pretend you like your neighbors
- prefer staying at home waiting on the plumber rather than playing golf
- no longer desire long vacations
- are ready to keep abreast of the do it yourself programs on TV
- can live with getting a new car when you absolutely need it
- are prepared to become head of your neighborhood watch
These are really meaningless reasons..but the truth is buying a home is a big step and should be entered into with eyes wide open.
You are creating a long term obligation. You are taking on a task that will require you to be vigilant in the upkeep and maintenance. You will be responsible for taxes and insurance.
You will be a proud homeowner!
