Should I buy a house or rent? Being a homeowner is a lifestyle change that comes with a lot more responsibility. Taking care of your property and extra costs are part of the deal. But the perks of being the primary decision-maker may make it all worthwhile. When you own your own home, that space becomes yours entirely. You can paint the walls orangeyou can knock the walls down if you really want to.... Paying your mortgage might feel similar to paying rent, but it’s not. Every month, a little more of that home becomes your financial asset. This is called building equity in your house. Once that equity is built up enough, it boosts your wealth and creditworthiness Rent can fluctuate, but a fixed-rate mortgage makes your housing costs more predictable. Improved home value, property taxes, and insurance rates can affect that payment some, but typically less than a spontaneous rent hike. See more

Would you rather buy a move-in-ready home or a fixer-upper? Before you answer this question, here’s something to consider: The price of a fixer-upper is usually a lot lower than the market price the home will command after the fixes bring it up to snuff. The lower price and potential increase in value entices people, especially in today’s economic climate.... On the other hand, buying a move-in ready home means no painting, no carpeting, no knocking out walls, no plumbing fixes or electrical problems, no adding rooms or landscaping changes. Just moving in and unpacking boxes. Which one is right for you?

Today I am going to address the most common question I get in my inbox: What is the difference between being pre-qualified and pre-approved for a mortgage loan? If you’re pre-qualified it means that you POTENTIALLY could get a loan for the amount stated to you, assuming that all of the information you provide to the bank is accurate and true. This is not as strong as a pre-approval.... If you’re pre-approved, it means that you have undergone the extensive financial background check, which includes looking at your credit history, previous tax returns and verifying your employment and the lender is willing to give you a loan, basically meaning you’re approved! You will usually be provided an accurate figure which shows the maximum amount that you are approved for. Most sellers prefer buyers that have been pre-approved because there's a smaller chance that there will not be any problems with the purchase of their home. #realestateagent #realestate #realestateinvesting #investing #BuywithKB #ListwithKB #Atlanta #GA
