Class is back in session, and today, we’re diving into all things math. But don't worry, it's none of that algebraic mumbo jumbo. We’re getting street-level practical with one of real estate’s most asked questions: How much home can I afford?⁣
⁣
Lenders recommend spending no more than 28% of your monthly gross income on your mortgage payment, including principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. ⁣
⁣
Here’s a quick example:⁣
⁣
Say your monthly gross income (pre-tax) is $5,000. To find 28% of $5,000, multiply 5,000 by 0.28 (28%). In this scenario, your total mortgage payment should not exceed $1,400. ⁣
⁣
There are all sorts of tools and calculators out there, but this is a good starting point. The last place you want to be in a new home is in over your head. ⁣

So what’s the difference between closing costs vs. pre-paid expenses? Simple!⁣
⁣
Closing costs are one-off payments due at closing for things like:⁣
⁣
Attorney fees⁣
Appraisal fees⁣
Title company fees and title insurance⁣
Government fees and taxes to record the property sale⁣
Real estate commissions (typically paid by the seller)⁣
⁣
Pre-paid expenses are upfront, ongoing payments due at closing for items folded into the monthly costs of homeownership. Things like:⁣
⁣
Homeowners insurance premiums⁣
Property taxes⁣
Mortgage interest⁣
Initial escrow deposit⁣
⁣
Pre-paid expenses head to an escrow account set up by your lender where they hang out until they’re due each year.⁣

Can’t get enough of the balmy, outdoor, restaurant experience but your budget says “No more?” Recreate those restaurant vibes with these at-home outdoor dining tips:⁣
⁣
Set the mood: String up patio lights, light a few candles, put out a spray of flowers, set the table in advance, and get that playlist going.⁣
Think beyond the deck or patio: Got a breezy shady spot in the back but no dining table there? Don’t be afraid to move your seating temporarily for a cooler, more comfortable experience. Bring along your outdoor rug to define the new eating space.⁣
Put it all on the table: One of the best things about eating out (besides no dishes!) is not having to get up and down, up and down, up and down. Bring that home by setting everything out at once—silverware, plates, napkins, drinks, bread, appetizers, and salads.⁣
⁣
Outdoor dining in a relaxing setting is one of the dreamiest things about summer. Make it a regular part of your week with these at-home tips. Looking for a new home with a breathtaking backyard? Reach out—I’ve got several homes in mind right now!⁣

If you’re looking to step up your style game without racking up loads of debt, do it TODAY with these 5 easy tips for decorating on a budget:⁣
⁣
1. Say “Sayonara!” to clutter: Decluttering = the first step of decorating. Culling out the items collecting dust then finding a local facility for recycling, donating or tossing is where we begin.⁣
⁣
2. Splurge vs. save: Decorating on a dime means knowing what’s worth the splurge and what's not. A quality sofa? Worth it every time. End tables, lamps, and accessories? A thousand ways to save.⁣
⁣
3. Shop your own home: Before swiping, typing, or charging your card, make the most of what you’ve already got. Move furniture and other pieces around from room to room to change up the look and feel of a space.⁣
⁣
4. Swap out accessories: Lampshades, throw pillows, flea market finds, and cabinet hardware are relatively inexpensive to change out and can instantly transform your living room and kitchen.⁣
⁣
5. Set the mood: Live plants, flowers from the yard, and fresh fruit all create feelings of welcome and coziness. Keep in mind, too: It’s not just the content, it’s also the container.⁣
⁣
Happy decorating on a dime, friends!

Buying a home is easy when you have a realtor who knows how to break it down into bite-sized steps... that's me!⁣
⁣
Here's a behind-the-scenes peek of how I simplify the process for my first-class clients.⁣
⁣
• I provide step-by-step checklists tailored to their situation with clear, actionable steps that we work through together.⁣
⁣
• If their wish list is a little foggy, we dig deep together so they can gain clarity about their must-haves and their deal breakers.⁣
⁣
• I check in with weekly status updates and to make sure we're on the same page.⁣
⁣
• I make myself easily accessible by phone, text, or in-person. My clients are always top-of-mind!⁣
⁣
Some of my fave resources for buyers are my FAQ packet and my First-Time Homebuyers Checklist. Like to see one or both of these? Drop me a message with your phone or email and I’ll zip it over today!⁣

So you’re kickin’ around the idea of renting your home on or ?⁣
⁣
Before packing your bag and dreaming of a stash of cash, here are a few questions to ask and things to consider. The more you know, the better!⁣
⁣
1. Will you need a special permit? Are there short-term occupancy rules or licensing requirements in your city?⁣
⁣
2. How will renting affect your property taxes or homeowners insurance?⁣
⁣
3. Which platform is best for your type of listing? Airbnb or some else?⁣
⁣
4. If listing your primary residence, do you have a reliable place to stay when renters book? Are you willing to take on the inconvenience of cleaning and packing up every time you get a booking?⁣
⁣
5. Can your cover initial costs (extra sheets, towels, first aid kit, smoke detectors, etc.) and ongoing costs (soap, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc.)?⁣
⁣
If you’ve done the research and are ready to generate some rental income, give me a call or send me a message. The short-term market is booming, and I’d love to help!⁣
