The monthly mortgage and homeowner’s insurance are obvious expenses for homeowners, but what else should you be budgeting for?

Here are five habits every homeowner should embrace to continue protecting their investment and peace of mind.

#1: Build an emergency fund. Unexpected repairs can pop up even in new builds! In addition to your personal savings, make sure you deposit money into an emergency fund to ensure major repairs don’t put a financial strain on you.

#2: Review your insurance coverage annually
From renovations and major purchases to changes in property value, your coverage needs can evolve over time. An annual review helps ensure you have the protection you need.

#3: Monitor your credit regularly
Your credit score can impact everything from refinancing opportunities to future lending options. Keeping an eye on your credit report can help you spot issues early and stay financially prepared.

#4: Budget for ongoing maintenance
Routine upkeep can help prevent minor issues from becoming major expenses. Planning for seasonal maintenance, repairs and replacements is an important part of responsible homeownership.

#5: Understand your home equity
As you pay down your mortgage and your home's value changes, your equity can become a valuable financial asset. Understanding how equity works can help you make informed decisions about refinancing, renovations or future investments.

Homeownership is about more than making a monthly payment. Building smart financial habits today can help you protect your home and your long-term financial goals.

Q: What is a 1031 exchange?

A 1031 exchange allows an investor to sell a property, to reinvest the proceeds in a new property and to defer all capital gain taxes.

Tax-deferred exchanges allow investors to defer capital gain taxes as well as facilitate significant portfolio growth and increased return on investment.

This strategy is a useful tool for real estate investors, startups and small businesses as it could help them reinvest in their next ventures. It’s also a useful tool for individuals planning their will.
