 Time
to build some equity. Those years of paying rent will soon be coming
to a welcome halt. While a mortgage payment may sound daunting,
it’s also liberating. Instead of lining the pockets of a landlord,
you’ll be lining your investment portfolio that you can live well
with – literally. Before you hit the housing market, hit the books.
What is it exactly that you need from your home? If you have or
are planning on starting a family soon, a good school district should
top your list. You’ll also want to check on home appreciation values
in those promising neighborhoods to ensure a sound investment. Have
neighboring homes sold for below or above market values? Have home
appraisals kept pace with national averages? Shop around these "Other
Resources" links before shopping for that new home.
