Alex R. replied to the topic Budgeting for buying a home in the forum Real Estate 2 years, 11 months ago
I was going through this prior to searching the market. It helps to work with an expert on the matter. My real estate agent as well as the bank I am getting the loan from broke all the numbers down for me. One of the easiest methods (though it is not bullet-proof) is to tack on another zero to your paycheck. If you get paid bi-weekly, go with that…[Read more]

Alex R. replied to the topic Would you sell a house you are still paying on for a profit? in the forum Real Estate 2 years, 11 months ago
Absolutely! But it would have to be a good size profit because I know how stressful moving can be. I moved 4 times growing up with my family and hated the experience each time. I moved out into an apartment and have been in the same place for 7 years but now I am looking to buy a home myself.

Alex R. replied to the topic How should a house be prepared before selling it? in the forum Real Estate 2 years, 11 months ago
In my experience, as a house shopper at the moment, I prefer to see a house completely emptied out. I don’t like seeing one with someone’s stuff all over the place. I have a hard time seeing my stuff in the space and tend to just move on to the next house.

Alex R. started the topic How much does a garage cost in 2021? in the forum Real Estate 2 years, 11 months ago
I was trying to get an estimate online but I am getting all sorts of mixed numbers. I just want a rough estimate. I am looking at houses right now and found one in my price range but it is lacking a garage which is something I would need before winter hit. So I want to know how much to expect to be paying on top of what I offer the owner.

Alex R. replied to the topic Affording a house is hard in your 20's! in the forum Real Estate 2 years, 11 months ago
Unless you are very smart with your finance early on, you are not going to likely be owning a house until your late 20’s at the earliest so do not beat yourself up too much about that! Give yourself a few more years to sort things out. The worst thing you could do now is to rush into buying something you can’t sustain or afford long-term.

Alex R. started the topic How much does it cost to build a garage? in the forum Real Estate 2 years, 11 months ago
I am currently house-shopping and have found one in my price range but I have yet to put an offer in. The thing holding me back is the lack of a garage. I have two cars so a garage is a must. I tried getting some quotes online but they are all over the place. What is the standard cost for a two-car garage with electrical?
