The journey into purchasing a home is a long process for most.
Making the dream a reality takes hard work, sacrifice and more sacrifice.
So, what is it that makes home ownership such a premier experience that it becomes a must do experience?
I will share from my personal experience;
What home ownership provided myself.
· Sense of pride
· The feeling of “I made it!”
· Showing up my stepdad.
· Overcome all the doubters.
· Somewhere to call HOME, my own HOME.
Now fast forward 5 to 10 years, do these feelings still remain?
For myself some of it still remains, but there are now other feelings that have pushed many of those aside.
So now, “What do I want?”
I want a home that,
· Is Low maintenance
· Is Energy Efficient
· I’m proud to show off
· That out lives it warrantees
In these 4 bullet points what am I saying?
· I want to buy time.
· I want to maximize my investment(s).
· I want to save money.
· I have Pride in my home.
What can be put in place to achieve each bullet point?
Here are some ideas;
· Have a routine maintenance program for your home and it’s assets.
