We often discuss, many of the challenges, of buying, a home, of own’s own, especially, for the first – time! Obviously, it’s essential to begin with one’s needs, goals, and priorities, as well as perception, and future needs, and considerations, Then, one must prepare, effectively, for a wide variety of financial considerations, so as, to avoid becoming, house – rich, but overly stressed, etc! Things, such, as a potential home’s area, location, neighborhood/ neighbors, actual block, schools, transportation, and other conveniences, must be factored in. However, once, one does all these things, it’s also important/ essential, to do all, he can, to overcome the FEAR, of buying a first – home. With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly, consider, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, why this is so relevant, and essential to consider, and address, realistically.
1. Future; fruition; facts: Since, for most, their house, represents their single – biggest, financial asset, doesn’t it make sense, a potential home buyer, should identify, and understand, all the relevant facts, and factors? Be careful, not to merely, focus on the obvious, such as staging, colors, etc, but, whether, the bones, of the house, are good, and it has the potential to effectively serve your needs, etc, not only today, but into the future. Once, you’ve found what you seek, proceed, with a strategy, to bring the transaction, to a desirable, fruition!
2. Excellence; energy; emphasis: How might you place, your emphasis, to properly, position, yourself, in order to determine, you opt for, a house, based on excellence? Does the specific home, enhance you, and energize you, and never overlook, the all – important, energy – efficiency?
3. Attitude; attention: The true attitude of a potential buyer, often, becomes the determining factor, and difference, between, proactively, finding the right home, for you, and your needs, and letting your fears, and uncertainties, dominate! Only when an individual, proceeds, with the utmost attention, and focuses, on what’s best, for his specific priorities, needs, and concerns, will he handle this process, smartly and effectively!
4. Realistic; rationale; reasons; region: It serves little purpose to begin this process, and journey, unless/ until, he proceeds, in a realistic manner, knowing his needs, goals, priorities, and perceptions, as well as his true, financial limitations and abilities. He must understand his personal rationale, and reasons, to buy, a specific property! Never under – estimate, the region, and specific characteristics, of where you seek, to move!
If you hope to buy a home, of your own, emphasize reasons, and rationale, and overcome any personal FEARS. A happy homeowner balances his priorities, perceptions, and personal comfort zone!
