For some families who want to buy, the numbers just aren’t lining up right now. Between ongoing affordability challenges and rising childcare costs, it can feel like you have to choose either buying a house or paying for daycare.

But a growing number of people are finding a smart solution where they can do both: buying a multi-generational home.

1 in 7 buyers purchase a home with their parents, grandparents, or other relatives. And here’s how that helps. By combining incomes and sharing expenses, they can finally afford to buy. And it even makes childcare easier when loved ones all live under one roof.

Sometimes the path to homeownership isn’t doing it alone. It’s doing it together.

Want to explore what this could look like for you? Let’s connect.

If your house is for sale and you’re not getting any offers, or at least none you’re comfortable with, you may be starting to wonder if it’s better to rent it out instead.

But here’s the truth. Being a landlord isn’t always as easy as it sounds. You have to find tenants. Chase down missed payments. Be on call anytime something breaks. And deal with unexpected costs and repairs.

So, make sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons before you make a decision.

For some homeowners, the hassle (and the expense) of turning a house into a rental property aren’t worth it.

Be honest. Have you started looking at homes online yet? Because if you have, it’s already time to get pre-approved.

While you may be tempted to wait until you’re really serious about a house, that actually puts you behind the game. The better bet is getting pre-approved before you fall in love with something.

It’ll give you clarity on what you can borrow, your ideal price point, and what your monthly payment could look like. That’s information you’re going to want up front, so you don’t fall for something outside of your range.

Plus, when a house you love hits the market, you’ll be ready to go – not scrambling to figure it out.

If you’re about to start looking or just casually browsing, let’s talk about where to start.
