Home Buying Myth

Yes, a higher interest rate means a larger monthly payment. But it’s not that simple. You need to understand what type of mortgage you’re selecting. For example, Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) often have lower initial rates than fixed-rate mortgages. But interest rates on these mortgages reset periodically. So when that happens, your rate could rise, and sometimes more than you’re prepared for. Got mortgage questions? I’ve got answers.

CURB APPEAL

If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to add some curb appeal simply place two identical potted plants on either side of the front door. Or, for a bit of color add a single flower box planted with your favorite flowers. Hot tip – choose plants that are low maintenance and easy to prune like evergreens or boxwoods. Remember, a house is one of the biggest purchases you will make in your lifetime, the more you invest in it, the more it will be worth. #thehelpfulLO #home #house #listreports #homeowner #happyhome #hometips #homediy #homestyle #realestate #themoreyouknow #icanhelp #investment #dreamhome #happyhomeowners
