Buy the home you really want. Investors are divided on whether or not now is a good time to sell your house and upgrade to a larger one, although some do favor the idea. However, since the housing market is perpetually rising, you might as well buy the house you’ve always wanted now. If you buy a smaller home instead, the house you really wanted may be too expensive for you by the time you’re ready to move.
Never buy real estate without getting the property inspected first. Otherwise, you could find yourself in a home that needs complete renovation from the ground up when you weren’t expecting it. This can be a serious problem if there are structural issues after you buy the home that you will be responsible for and you may have to leave your home while it is repaired.
