Good luck, let me know how the process goes. I am not up to that point in my life yet but it seems to be a long slow process that involves a lot of preparation because it is such a huge decision.

Great tips! We're looking to buy a home this year. It's a daunting process to think about a purchase like a home and what is involved. FFB’s last blog post..Excuse Busters For Not Having A Budget

@Kelly that’s a great point. You don’t want to worry about this issue when it’s too late and winter has arrived. Handle it right away. There are more options available today as well that can help and save money when the winter comes.

Also remember to ask about insulation in old homes. One of my friends has bundled up in her home through 2 very cold winters. They bought the home in the summer and did not ask about insulation and the sellers didn’t bring this to their attention. Even after adding insulation to their attic during a weekend project, their home is still uncomfortably cold all winter. That’s the first question on her list now.

Great advice about older homes. They may seem like a bargain, just make sure you know what type of work needs to go into it, like you mention could run you a lot of extra money. Maybe it’s still worth it, maybe not. Bottom line is to do as much research as possible.
