If you're thinking about buying your first home, there's something important to consider: is this really the place you want to spend the rest of your life? While it may seem like a good idea to "settle down" and stay put, there are actually some compelling reasons why your first home shouldn't necessarily be your forever home.
First and foremost, your lifestyle and needs are likely to change over time. What you want and need in a home now may not be the same in a few years, or even a few months. Maybe you'll start a family, or maybe you'll decide to downsize. Maybe you'll want to live in a different area, or maybe you'll want to upgrade to a bigger and better home. All of these things can be difficult to do if you're tied down to your first home.
Secondly, it's important to keep in mind that your first home is likely not going to be your dream home. It may be a stepping stone to get you where you want to be, but it's important to remember that it's okay to make changes and upgrades along the way. You don't have to settle for a home that doesn't meet all of your needs or wants.
Finally, it's always a good idea to keep your options open. You never know what opportunities may come your way, and being tied down to a forever home may prevent you from taking advantage of those opportunities.
So, if you're thinking about buying your first home, don't feel like you have to make it your forever home. It's okay to start small and make changes along the way. Keep your options open and don't be afraid to make the most of the opportunities that come your way."

Are you a first time home buyer looking for the best loan options? Here are a few tips to consider:
1. FHA loans: These loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration and are a great option for first time home buyers because they only require a 3.5% down payment and have more lenient credit requirements.
2. VA loans: If you or your spouse is a veteran or active military member, you may be eligible for a VA loan, which offers low or no down payment options and often has lower interest rates than other loans.
3. Conventional loans: These loans are not backed by the government and usually require a higher down payment (between 3% and 20%), but they may have lower interest rates and fewer fees.
4. USDA loans: If you are looking to buy a home in a rural or suburban area, you may be eligible for a USDA loan, which is backed by the United States Department of Agriculture. These loans offer low or no down payment options and are available to borrowers with low to moderate income.
No matter which loan you choose, be sure to shop around and compare offers from different lenders to find the best rate and terms for you. Happy house hunting!

A glimpse of last weeks thriving adventure with my sister. We tease each other about thrift cheating with other friends, but it’s better when we’re together. We have been thrifting since we can remember, our mom owned a couple of antique stores so we learned a lot about stuff along the way.

It may seem disappointing that your didn’t buy a house when interest rates were 2-3%, but you also didn’t over pay for the home. How you can take this opportunity to start building wealth. You can get the home at a better price to begin with, and later refinance pull cash out and buy your dream home. Instead of 1 property you will have two.

A glimpse of my visit to some of the Hot Wells hotel ruins ruins in south San Antonio last month. I love to explore local history, this park did not disappoint.

Ditch the decorating rules. I love mixing colors, patterns, styles, etc. But don’t make it look like a flea market either. You can do this in a way that’s pleasing to the eye. If you need help let me know.
Ps. I don’t style my house for photos so you will see my daily mess 😂
