🏠✨ Don't Let Surprises Sneak Into Your Home Budget! ✨🏠 This tip surprised some of my clients, and it's one I want to share with you: when planning your monthly housing budget, it's crucial to consider all the components. Your mortgage payment isn't just about principal and interest. Remember to include property taxes, insurance, any Homeowners Association (HOA) fees (if applicable, these cover shared community expenses like maintenance and amenities), and if your down payment is less than 20%, Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) may also apply to protect the lender in case of default. 📊✅ Understanding these costs upfront helps you budget effectively and prevents unexpected financial challenges down the road. Whether you're buying your first home or refinancing, knowing your total monthly housing expenses gives you peace of mind and financial stability. 💬 Need help navigating your housing budget? Drop a comment below or send me a message. I'm here to guide you through every step of the process. Don't let surprises catch you off guard—let's plan your homeownership journey together!

A FHSA (First Home Savings Account) offers tax breaks in the form of tax-deductible contributions and tax-free withdrawals, as long as these funds are used to purchase a home. If you're a first-time homebuyer, an FHSA could give you a head start on acquiring that home. Here's what you need to know: ➡️ Eligibility: Canadian residents aged 18 or older who are first-time homebuyers. You will be considered to be a first-time home buyer if you did NOT, at any time in the current calendar year before the withdrawal (except the 30 days immediately before the withdrawal) or at any time in the preceding four calendar years, live in a qualifying home (or what would be a qualifying home if located in Canada) as your principal place of residence that either you owned or jointly-owned, or your current spouse or common-law partner (at the time of the withdrawal) owned or jointly-owned.* Tax-Free Savings: The FHSA allows you to save up to $40,000 on a tax-free basis when used towards the purchase of your first home. ➡️ Investment Options: Similar to TFSA or RRSP, the FHSA can hold various investments including cash, mutual funds, securities, bonds, and GICs. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make your dream home a reality. Open a FHSA today and take the first step towards your future! . . .

You have six months to sell the house. After that, the lender may give you an extension up to a year, but they do not have to do that. This clients actually was following all the steps and rules and sending in all the documentation the lender was asking for and after six months it still got kicked to a collection company who then filed a notice of default. He’s been given nine months to sell the house. The key thing to know is that the clock starts ticking on the date of death. It is not the date that you notify the lender that they died. Let me say it again. THE CLOCK STARTS AT THE DATE OF DEATH so don’t try to delay the inevitable. You either need to sell the house in six months or refinance it ASAP This client’s dad’s house is listed, and will very likely sell before there are any problems, but he did want to have a back up plan just in case. We set a date to check back in. More questions? DM me anytime. Click the link in my bio to schedule a call with me to chat more. I am licensed in California and Utah. If you are not in those areas I have a lot of colleagues nationwide who I trust that can help you. . . . #reversemortgage #heloc #seniors #elderly #agingparents #eldercare #retire #retirement #livewell #budget #tracyca #manteca #bayarea #oakland #hayward #palmsprings #slc #provo #lodi #sacramento #walnutcreek #eastbay #centralvalley #centralvalleyrealestate #bayarearealestate #reesesquaredmortgage #loanladyliz #remodel #lifeinsurance #income

This is a terrific perspective from a financial planner. This is just one application how a reverse mortgage can help solve a problem. Real estate taxes certainly go up with higher values, a challenge when someone is on a fixed income.
