Last night I sat thumbed through an actual magazine, “Real Simple Magazine”. I stumbled upon an article titled, “How Much can I really afford”. This one I had to read. As a real estate professional I run into people every day that want to own a home and think they can’t. The truth is most can probably afford the down payment on a home but don’t realize that they are spending that down payment every time they hit the shopping center. Usually on the way home from work or on the weekend. It could be as simple as making your own coffee every day.
Check out the article to learn what I learned in just a few minutes. Start saving for your home today.
