🔑 No One Talks About This When You Buy a Home…
One thing most people forget to mention? The hidden costs of homeownership after closing. Surprise — you’ll need to budget for home repairs. From a leaky roof to a broken appliance, even newer homes require regular upkeep.
Many first-time buyers don’t realize that unexpected repairs and ongoing maintenance are just part of the package.
💡 Pro Tip: Set aside an emergency fund equal to 1–2% of your home’s value each year to stay prepared for surprise expenses.
