TEAM PAINTING VS. TEAM WALLPAPER: It's easy to transform your space with a few coats of paint, but we are currently loving the dramatic impact that wallpaper can make in a room.

Here are a few things to consider when deciding what to do in your home:

PREPARATION:
If you have to remove existing wallpaper, consult a professional. If you don't strip the wallpaper with the right tools, you can risk damaging the wall. If you're removing wallpaper to paint, keep in mind that you'll need to apply spackle and prime before actually applying the paint.

DURABILITY:
While wallpaper can stand up to wear and tear (like if you have kids or pets), it might not be the best option for high moisture rooms like bathrooms or kitchens. If you're painting, choose the correct finish (satin, eggshell, semi-gloss, high-gloss, flat) for your space.

COST:
Both paint and wallpaper can range in price and accommodate most budgets. On average, wallpaper tends to be more expensive between the paper, supplies, and installation.

💬 How about you: are you Team Wallpaper or Team Paint?

Fall maintenance is all about preparing your home for cooler conditions. Use this checklist to prep your home this season!

1. Clean your gutters - Clogged gutters can damage exterior surfaces. Before the leaves fly this fall, clean your gutters, then cover them with mesh gutter guards to keep debris out.

2. Seal up air leaks - Keep your home warm in the colder months by checking around windows and doors for air leaks. Use caulk and weatherstripping to seal up any drafts.

3. Inspect your roof - Check the entire roof for any damaged shingles and look in your gutters for granules which is a sign that your roof is losing its coating.

4. Protect faucets - If you live in an area that is prone to colder weather, you should take steps to ensure your outside faucets don't freeze. Drain the lines and shut-off valves that go to the outdoor faucets to prevent your pipes from freezing and bursting.

Buying a home is about, as the saying goes, "location, location, location."

With the real estate market being so competitive, knowing what you are looking for in a neighborhood is as important as ever. The best path to an accepted offer nowadays is to be creative and think outside the box.

For example, you might have your heart set on a home in a popular town or neighborhood in your area, but it might turn out that another popular town or neighborhood in your area actually has all of the amenities that you're looking for!

Here are some things to consider when choosing a neighborhood:

1️⃣ Do you want a quiet, tree-lined street, or are you looking for a more urban downtown setting?
2️⃣ Would you like a more contemporary home, or do you want something with a historic/vintage charm?
3️⃣ Are you open to an up-and-coming neighborhood or want to be in an established community?
4️⃣ Do you want to be in a single-family home, or is a townhome or condo right for your lifestyle?
5️⃣ Are you commuting, and if so, do you need to be near a highway or public transportation?
6️⃣ How important is proximity to neighborhood amenities, like a great local coffee shop and Whole Foods? ⁣

While house hunting for your dream home it's important to:
✔️ Get Preapproved
❌ Avoid touring homes over your budget
Why?
➡️ Getting Pre-approved helps you to know exactly what the banks, lenders, or credit unions are willing to lend you.
➡️ Touring homes over your budget could mean getting emotionally attached to a house you simply can't afford. It's best to tour homes ONLY in your budget.

Have you ever thought about buying an investment property?

Investing in real estate is one of the best ways to build generational wealth, but as with most major investments, getting started can certainly be daunting in the beginning.

Before purchasing your first investment property, here are a few things to consider.

-Financial situation. Are you financially stable, and can you afford the upfront costs of an investment property?
-Investment goals. Have you discussed your plans with a financial advisor? As with any investment, investing in real estate does carry some risk.
-Time commitment. Do you have the time to manage your property? Being a landlord can be time-consuming, so be sure you can dedicate the time to managing your property (or can hire someone who will).
-Pre-approval. As with any property purchase, you'll need to go through the pre-qualification and pre-approval process with a reputable lender.

If you're considering purchasing your first investment property, drop a message any time, and we can discuss some options!
