This isn’t a story about two sisters after the same man. It’s a story about the same man after two sisters. Rose and I are “Irish twins”, eleven months apart. She’s brunette and I’m blonde and we’re both…well, let’s just say we have hourglass figures. Which is why Mr. Knutsen won’t leave us alone. He wants us to make TV commercials for him, wearing tight sweaters and short skirts and acting amazed at the great buys available at “Krolly Knutsen’s Kar Korral”. But we refuse. We Jeffries are good, honest girls, and we will not shill for Kreepy Knutsen. No way. Till the day we sit down, add up our bills, and realize we’ve got maybe a month before we crash and burn. Rose looks at me and sighs. “Maybe I can get evening shifts at 7-Eleven after I get off from Macy’s.” “Then who’s going to watch Mom at night while I waitress?” The thing is, there just aren’t that many jobs available near the freeway exit we call home. One of us could look for work in the big city, but that would leave the other one responsible for Mom 24/7 and soon two Jeffries women would need round-the-clock care.[http://www.streav.com/docs/truth-in-advertising/] |
These days, knowing how to sell a house isn’t as simple as sticking a “For Sale” sign on your lawn. Times have changed—and the good news is the market is largely tilting in your favor. “It’s undeniably a seller’s market,” says Linda Sanderfoot, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker in Neenah, WI. In other words, buyers are demanding homes, but there isn’t much inventory on the market nationally. Plus, half of home buyers are worried about rising interest rates and looking to lock into a home soon. As a result, “there is pressure on buyers to submit offers quickly, and to offer full or even above list price,” says Peggy Yee, supervising broker at Frankly Realtors in Vienna, VA. All of this puts sellers squarely in the driver’s seat—which can be a lot of pressure if your GPS is broken and you don’t know how to navigate this new world. Consider this your crash course in getting up to speed. [b]Rule No. 1: Price it right from the outset.

Buying your first home is incredibly exciting, but there’s also more than a little bit of stress that comes with it. A house is a big purchase, and it brings a whole host of new hurdles beyond the initial price tag. If you’ll be purchasing your first house with your significant other, one way to avoid some of that stress is to have a few important conversations before you even start your house search. Based on my experience buying a house with my husband, these are a few of the questions I’d suggest chatting about before you set out to find your perfect pad.

Can you buy a house without your spouse? That might seem like a weird and highly unromantic question, but there are plenty of reasons to ponder this possibility. Basically, this means that although you two might live in the home together, only you would technically “take title” to the property—a fancy way to say that you own it and have your name on the deed. It’s legal—and more common than you might think. “This is always an option,” says Zachary D. Schorr, a Los Angeles real estate attorney. “People are free to take title to property however they want.” Plus, however it might look at first glance, keeping your spouse off the deed isn’t necessarily a vote of no confidence in the marriage. Particularly for couples entering second or late-in-life marriages, it can make a whole lot of sense. Here’s why you might consider this arrangement, including the pros and cons. read more at [https://www.property5.com.ng/can-you-buy-a-house-without-your-spouse-the-pros-and-cons/] |
