And sometimes that's not always the best decision.
If you get the best accountant available in your budget, you sit down and you really do the math on taxes, insurance requirements.
maintenance, HOA fees, all sorts of ancillary expenses, gardening, all sorts of things people don't anticipate, it might sometimes be better to rent than to own, especially if it's a short-term plan for a couple.
I often advise first-time homebuyers, actually any buyers, whether you're a subsequent buyer, but any first-time homebuyer, young buyer, or if someone's moving into a new region in an area what they're unfamiliar with, to actually do the legwork and get in the car and drive over multiple times
Visit the neighborhood three times during the day.
What's the morning light like?
What's the afternoon like?
When does it actually get dark on which side of the street?
Perhaps that's too much northern exposure for you and you actually don't want to live in the shade starting at two o'clock in the afternoon in the winter.
So checking out environmental concerns like how much sunlight, if there's ambient noise, there can be a lot of ambient bounce up noise off of roadways into places in the hills that you would not anticipate.
And when does that noise come and go?
Things like power lines, those are huge inhibitors for resale value and oftentimes they can be in the view of a home and they'll actually end up compromising the overall equity that you make when you go ahead and sell your home.
So I'm a big fan of driving over, parking your car, walking the neighborhood multiple times a day and talk to the neighbors.
The neighbors will tell you what they love about living there.
They'll also tell you about what they don't like about living there.
or if there's concerns about anybody or any kind of intrusive noise or dog that barks incessantly and nobody can make that stop.
These are questions you absolutely want to know what you're getting on the other side when your offer is accepted.
