Things to Consider When Building!

When building a new property, there are so many decisions to make, from the location and builder, to which carpet and paint to choose. Keep these tips in mind when you decide to build.

• Location- Work with your Realtor when purchasing land and building to make sure that the location you desire will fit your budget as well as the style and size you want in your building. Don't find out after purchasing that you can't do what you want or that the market won't handle your specific plans.
• Building- Select your builder carefully! Ask for recommendations from your Realtor. After all, they work with builders everyday. Ask builders for referrals and contact them. Ask plenty of questions and don't be afraid to get more than one quote.
• Products- Once you have purchased land, selected a builder, and begun the building process, there will be many products to choose. Ask about your options and shop around in advance to make sure that you get what you want at the price you want. When selecting roofing products and styles- keep in mind your budget, style, and the weather in your area. Remember that by using certain materials, you can decrease your energy costs. When selecting flooring products- remember to check wear, stain resistance, and even product type (such as carpet, tile, or hardwood).
  
• Mortgage Options- Check with your mortgage company to find out what mortgage options are available to you. Make sure that you know the down-payment requirements for the option you choose.
