There are so many things to think about when you buy a new house. It’s totally a hundred percent different from renting and no one ever told me it would be! I thought I’d move in and set my stuff up like usual, but instead I’m going back and forth with contractors and ADT home securityThere’s just a lot to get installed and up and running and on top of all that, I have to buy furniture for the three rooms I didn’t have before at the old rental! It’s more expensive than renting was, too, but hopefully I’ll get some of that money back one day when I’m ready to sell. It’s hard trying to decide what upgrades will have some resale value and which ones are just cosmetic for me. The last thing I want to do is waste more money than I have to putting this whole thing together! It’s exciting being a homeowner, though, for all its trials and tribulations!
