When you buy a home in a rural neighborhood, it’s much more of a lifestyle decision than deciding to settle down in a city or even close to a city. And if you aren’t deeply familiar with the place where you want to move, then you’ll need to research what it’s really like to live there and decide whether it’s for you.
Taking a trip down below your home and into the crawlspace is not something you’re going to look forward to… but inspecting this area annually will help prevent expensive problems down the road.
You just found your dream home, and it’s within your budget! One thing has you scratching your head though, how are you going to come up with the 20% down payment?
