So, you are searching for a house… how’s it going? Can’t seem to find the right listing? The house you like is too small? The house doesn’t have curb appeal, but the rest is fine? Is the house not close to any critical facilities?
There could be several reasons for rejecting the house, and here, you face the most difficult step of buying a house — the search!
If we see the figures from Statista, we learn that finding the right property is extremely difficult.
64% of millennials between 23 and 31 struggled to find a house. This tells us that the process is exhausting from the get-go. One would assume that saving for the down payment or securing a loan would be a bigger hurdle. Alas, it all falls down to your taste.
So, what can you do? Compromise?
Don’t let it come to that! Let’s imagine that you are driving in a neighborhood you like and spot a “For Sale” sign. You immediately note down the number and call when you get home. It turns out that the house is way out of your budget. You still decide to schedule a tour. One look inside, and you fall in love with it. You reevaluate your finances to find a way but come up empty. Ultimately, you pool in your emergency savings and buy the house. A few months later, you need cash, but you have no reserve. So, you take out a loan on top of your mortgage. This puts you in debt, and you struggle to buy daily life necessities.
We could give you the same old tips of setting limits, staying firm on your decision, and not giving into temptation. However, there’s a different way to tackle this problem.
