How to pay off Your Mortgage Faster

A mortgage is often the largest debt that one undertakes and as a result, many homeowners
look to pay it off as soon as they can. In addition to reducing overall debt, paying off your mortgage early enable you to purchase a second home or investment property. See the attached PDF that provides some ideas and tips when trying to reduce your mortgage principal.  If you did not get our item of value sign up for our Client Appreication Program.

Sunday, November 6, Daylight Saving Time ends, so don't forget to roll back that clock an hour on Saturday night or Sunday morning.  I also like to use the time change to remind me to perform some basic home maintenance tasks. Perhaps this list will help you as well:

  • Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Test batteries and replace.
  • Interior Caulking: Inspect caulking around tubs, showers, and sinks; replace any if it is deteriorating.
  • HVAC: Change filters, if required.
  • Toilet: Check for leaks and water run-on.
  • Garbage Disposal: Tighten drain connections and fasteners.
  • Dryer: Vacuum lint from ducts and surrounding areas.
  • Washer: Clean water inlet filters; check hoses and replace them if they are leaking.
  • Wiring: Check for frayed cords and wires; repair or replace them as needed.
  • Range/Stove Hood: Wash fan blades and housing.

A little regular maintenance can save thousands down the road when you decide to list your home. Hope you're well, and enjoy that 'extra hour' of sleep!
