Owning a home is a decision that requires proper planning and consideration, especially if you intend to stay there for any length of time. There are various reasons why someone might choose to buy a house.Financial stability: Owning a home can offer a feeling of economic stability and security that renting may not provide. This stability is particularly true for those seeking a long-term living arrangement. Owning a home can help establish equity and create wealth over time.Wise financial decision: Investing in a house can be smart since property values have consistently increased. Some people may purchase a home to renovate it and sell it at a higher price or rent it out to generate a steady income stream. Space for families: Owning a house can benefit families and individuals. It pro...

The other day I came across this quote by Bayard Taylor.“Opportunity is rare, and a wise man will never let it go by him.”My sense is the reason opportunity is rare because wisdom is also rare. Year ago I read this quote by Marcel Proust:“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but having new eyes.”Maybe this is why during economic downturns, there are more wealthy people created because they have changed their perspective, their eyes?And usually from what I read these individuals who became wealthy worked, had goals and learned how to overcome obstacles in their paths.With all the angst within the real estate industry, my sense is some will see the same landscape but with new eyes.  From everything I continue to read, the real estate industry is facing what...

Wisdom Has Been Chasing You... Whoa, slow it down there speedy! Yeah, you, moving like a small kid on a sugar buzz, after a day trip to granny's! Stop stirring up so much chaos by running all over hell's half acre, igniting uncertainty, instead of making your mind up. Inevitably, problems will persist because of that whirlwind approach to everything in life and any excuses are like starting an argument in an empty house. When it comes to buying property, that can prove calamitous. You might be faster than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking competition but some things require time. Avoid that sinking feeling once the commitment is made by hitting the brakes, be thorough, rely on the the hired professionals. You can keep from singing the financial blues by sticking close to a budget and a...

 Evaluating your DTIMost Real Estate customers in the rural land market aren’t aware that financing may be available to them. In our area of Northern Arizona, many of the land Sellers will carry a note on the property to make their property more appealing to a prospective customer. Without Owner carry or Lender financing, a land purchase would typically be all cash. Unlike when looking for a home, most land buyers aren’t ready or haven’t really considered their financial ability in the eyes of a lender. When looking to buy Real Estate a Buyer should be ready for any possibility that comes their way. Always have your credit report handy and do your own math on your “Debt to Income” ratio to help speed up the process.Calculating and evaluating your Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratio is crucial wh...
