HOMEOWNERS
Resolution #7: Evaluate your household budget to reflect
financial changes.
A work-from-home
arrangement could mean less money spent on commuting and dining out, but it
could also mean increased expenses, such as faster Wi-Fi and higher energy
bills. Update your income and expenses and review last year’s spending
habits.
Resolution #8: Save money now (and earn more later) with home
maintenance.
With a regular home
maintenance plan, you’ll avoid some surprise “emergency fixes,” can lower
your energy costs, and when you’re ready to eventually sell your home,
you’ll get higher offers from buyers who aren’t put off by overdue repairs.
Resolution #9: Invest in real estate for a better standard of
living.
Even if you don’t plan on leaving your current residence, real
estate is a great way to improve your quality of life in 2021. A vacation
home in a getaway location you love lets you safely spread your wings. And
if you have been looking for a second stream of income, an investment
property might be your answer.
