Best Place To Watch The Super Bowl

Same Question Every Year, Who’s hosting the Super Bowl Party?
Make this year your year to buy a home worthy of Hosting the party!

Every year the super bowl comes around and you wind up at a house you would rather not be at because they own the best place that has the parking and entertainment space to host a party. Sports bars are fun but at the end of the night check your wallet, The average couple that frequently visits a sports bar spends about the same per month as a mortgage payment on a modest home and then go home to an apartment where they continue to pay the landlords mortgage.

Yes sports bars are fun but think about having only your group of friends bring a dish and a six pack for the evening in your den. Think about investing in your future instead of paying rent for your landlord and supporting the local bars.

Before another year goes by and we are ringing in 2019 consider sitting down with a member of The Choose A Home Team or take our Free Home Buyer Class and learn about our little to no money down options for you to become a home owner.

You don’t make it to the super bowl without a solid game plan and you don’t secure your financial future without a game plan. You may decide your not ready to be a homeowner yet however years go by fast and you should at least develop your game plan.

It costs nothing but a little of your time so the best place to start is contact us today and set an appointment

Rent to Own – Good Idea or Bad Move?

Rent to own sounds like a good solution to some with little to put down or poor credit right? (WRONG)

The Choose A Home Team @ Howard Hanna Real Estate offers a free home buyer class. Programs available to assist people with little or no money down if your in a poor cash flow position. More importantly do you qualify for credit. We work with lenders who help with the credit repair process.

Let our team find you a house for sale that you can afford.

When you enter into a house for sale rent to own contract more often than not the only party that benefits is the person selling the home. In most cases a portion of the rent is held toward the purchase of the property and is non refundable. If you do not buy that property. Example a place that might normally rent for $1000 a month would be $1200 and $200 of it would apply to purchase. Of coarse 1 year later the owner collected $2400 of your money and if you still do not qualify for a mortgage your out that money.

We on the Choose A Home Team encourage you, weather your ready to buy a home now or not to sit in on one of our First Time Home Buyer Classes. Helping you to develop a plan for your future. Many websites are out there that make the Home Buying Process appear to be a simple do it yourself project. It is by nature a very simple process but not if you do it yourself. Please take the time to meet with a member of our Team and learn the ropes of home ownership.
