Normally homes increase in value (they are continuing to increase in the Bryan/College Station area even though other parts of the country are NOT having the appreciation we have). So, your investment should be worth more than you paid for it many years later. If your home doesn’t go up in value (appreciate) remember you will have “Forced Savings” (your monthly payment) that helps pay down the balance due on the home loan.
Each month you make your house payment you are reducing the amount owed on the home (if not, call me and I’ll put you in touch with a lender who can make this happen!). When you pay rent you are paying someone else’s house payment for them. You are making THEIR investment Read the rest of this entry »

College Station Water – Where Does It Come From?
July 3rd, 2009 Categories: Buying, Neighborhoods
