What’s behind door # 2?

Like the home but aren’t sure about the neighbors. Take a hike! That’s right, walk around the area and knock on a few doors. Ask some questions about the ‘environment’. Is it quiet here?

Are there many kids? Is it a busy street? Where is the closest park, grocery store, and fire station?

You’re not being nosy, but cautious and prepared.

After all, if you make the commitment to move in, you want to know what it’s going to be like when you get there.

The decision is yours Should I put 20% down on a house, or just put 3%? Well, each individual will have to evaluate their circumstances and determine the right move. First, depending on your credit, you might not have a choice. But if you do, think about these things. Less down means a higher mortgage payment…but a bigger write off. More down means you will have less discretionary income to invest in other things. And actually, there are a few other variables and outcomes that a good lender will point out. Moral of the story…find a smart lender and/or financial advisor to discuss the options and implications.

Bill’s Corners I’ve been involved with the real estate and mortgage industry for more than 30 years and feel privileged to have landed here in Asheville. Moving from Detroit gave my family and me an appreciation of… ‘wow, can you believe this place!’ I’ve travelled around the world with my speaking opportunities, but this is the ‘cat’s meow’ when it comes to…you name it ... a list of everything good. Every week I hope to be able to give you some information that is pertinent, interesting, and perhaps a little entertaining. So please enjoy my ‘Corner’, and if you do decide to buy a house, rest assured it was a good decision.

Name this dog You’ll never guess! My nickname is “red stockings” because of the red socklike markings on my feet. I am not seen outside of France very often. I’m large, with pointy ears and a long tail.

I was trained to herd large flocks of sheep and, most recently, as a police dog…grrrrrrrrr. I have two hind dewclaws, am intelligent, and have a great memory. Where was I? Oh yeah, I love different climates (take me to Jamaica), need some firm discipline, but will always be loyal and patient.

Answer:

Take the “Talk Test” It’s a simple way to determine if you are overdoing it when you exercise. If you’re too out of breath to comfortably carry on a conversation with another person when you run, dance, or slam-dunk a basketball, then you should slow down. On the other hand, you should be sweating, working hard, and feeling your heart go…budda boom, boom, boom.

Don’t get chest pains, become dizzy, or throw up in your neighbor’s bushes. Now, get back to getting in shape.
