So the last couple of years have not exactly been super comfortable inside my home; But, that was legitimately preferable to living in an apartment! When my household became available, it was a now or never moment as well as I went all in.
For what seems like forever, I’ve been saving so I could have a mortgage instead of paying rent… Along with the usually overwhelmed as well as old Heating as well as A/C equipment, I hated not building any equity while renting, however this was so pressing to me.
But I also was just ready to not have to share walls with anyone that wasn’t inside my home. The household I was able to buy is perfect space-wise as well as location, and i have a yard as well as live in a nice city. But the household was easily worn out even though it’s structurally in good shape, and yet, it was an as is situation as well as if I purchased it, all the renovations would be up to me. There was no way I was going to beat that price so I took the leap. And with that leap has come with it a new level of patience. When it comes to laboring on this house, I could only do what I could afford. I wasn’t into borrowing a bunch of cash just so I could get it all done more suddenly. That said, I also saved a bunch of cash by doing a bunch of the labor myself. The basic renovations were finally capped off this Spring when the Heating as well as A/C component was replaced. It was a truly old central air conditioner situation as well as I had to entire thing replaced, however new HVAC duct went with the new heat pump. At least this Summer, I’m going to be the most comfortable I’ve ever been in my adult life.
