"Ever since I subscribed to your site the daily reminders are the only thing I read apart from email and the NY Times headlines and weather. I am hugely critical of most self-help information, but this is not what your site is. I save 1 in 2 of these and have kept a library folder. They are intelligent, concise, relevant and are pitched at exactly the right level." -Martin Chalk, CEO, Balance Water

Making it easier for the next guy

VictoriaB

The desire to own a home is somewhat ingrained in our culture.  Like going to school and getting married, it's one of those milestones or rights of passage many feel the need to secure.

What things can you do to make buying a home easier?

Advice? IF you plan on buying a fixer upper....make certain you and your partner are on the same page when it comes to the amount of work, time and $$$ you plan on putting into the home. It is a great opportunity to customize your home to reflect your personality, and not someone elses.
