We started our
house buying experience with a very modest home in a price range we could
afford when we were first married and loved it. We lived there for several
years saving our money as much as we could. When we sold it we purchased our
dream home on beautiful Lake Palestine just outside of Tyler, Texas.
We lived in our
dream home for several years. All the while improving its value by adding
landscaping, cement circle driveway, boathouse, sidewalks, patio, in-ground
pool with a large textured cement patio surrounding it, more molding inside,
built-ins, etc.. Many memories were made with family and friends while we lived there
that will not be forgotten.
Selling our
dream home is also cashing in on the nest egg we have carefully developed. Not
only can we afford to build a smaller home we will pay cash for, but we will
have funds left over to reinvest and increase our retirement income for our
future.
Some
take-a-ways from this experience:
- Plan
- Save
- Buy carefully (location, location, location)
- Maintain and improve the property
- Always work with a
knowledgeable and reputable licensed REALTOR®
