Are Starter 🏠 Still a Thing?

In today’s real estate market, “starter home” means something very different than it did 20 (or even 10) years ago, and finances have much to do with that. So, let’s reframe your thinking around what a “starter home” is, and that’s simply a great place to start! If you’re a first-time buyer, consider all the other firsts you’re about to take on; not having a landlord is a big one! Burst pipe? Clogged toilet? Broken major appliance? It’s now on you to figure out these issues. In this case, a smaller “starter home” might be exactly what you want! #thehelpfulLO #home #house #listreports #homeowner #happyhome #newhome #happyhomeowners #realestate #mrtgage #loanofficer #investment #househunting #starterhome
