We made a lot of money from the sale of our home and we didn’t even have to upgrade the HVAC system because it was still in excellent condition.
My wife said a long time ago that we needed to quit throwing away our money on rent and buy a home. I agreed with her, I always felt like it was such a waste renting different households. The rent always seemed to be too much and the HVAC system was never so great. I didn’t want to buy a new HVAC for a home that wasn’t mine, and we just had to deal with what we could get in our area. Eventually though, we had good enough credit to seriously start looking at houses to buy. We worked with a real estate agent who was awesome and she helped us find just the home we wanted. It was a smaller home, only 1 bathroom 3 bedrooms, but it was nice enough for us. It certainly was way nicer than any home we had lived in prior. We lived in this home over the years and had two children. When we thought about having more children, we realized we needed a bigger house for that. Over the years we had been living in the house, the value of our home skyrocketed. We made a lot of money from the sale of our home and we didn’t even have to upgrade the HVAC system because it was still in excellent condition. I mean, we did take care of the regular HVAC maintenance all the time. So we were able to buy an amazing home in the country with 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Not only do all the kids get a bedroom, but there are plenty of guestrooms! Also the house came with a ductless mini split with a lot of zones. It’s nice having customized temperature control settings, and this HVAC is super energy efficient!
