experience, opinion, real estate, real estate investment

Just like what the title said, in this post, I’ll show you some of the ways you can use to save up some money. The first thing you need to do is to determine the size of your down payment. This is important because if you’re unaware of how much you’ll need to set aside in order to make a reasonably sufficient down payment, you don’t have a direction.

The rules may be slightly different…

Beware of restrictions As you know different states have different regulations when it comes to historic homes and neighborhoods. From what I know, many towns throughout the U.S. have zoning and planning commissions that, among other things, set out to preserve and protect historic homes and neighborhoods. So, if you’re looking to change or renovate a historic home you may require a separate layer of approval in order to proceed. As a result, renovations and planning can…
