3 Things I Wish I'd Known Before My "For Sale by Owner"

When you're selling, the last thing you want is for your home to sit on the market for months, particularly if you're a military family with a strict PCS deadline. Without selling that home on a deadline, you may wind up stuck in a year-long lease at your next duty station because you couldn't access the capital you needed in time to buy. You can only stay in temporary PCS lodging for so long! To get your house sold quickly, let's look at 3 things you'll wish you'd have known before your For Sale by Owner home sale!

 

1. A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words!

 

Keep this mantra and "show me, don't tell me" in mind when you're preparing your marketing for your FSBO.

How Much House Can You Afford on Your Military Family's Budget? 

 

While the guidelines of most lenders require that your debt-to-income ratio is no greater than 36 percent of your income, military life seems to make the answer to the question of how much house can you afford even easier to estimate. Military families are provided a set housing allowance (BAH) that covers rent and utilities; as of 2015, renter's insurance is no longer covered as part of the military housing allowance. That means that if you have a BAH of $1,500 and you've estimated that utilities will cost $200, then you should have $1,300 to afford a mortgage that includes principal, interest, and taxes, right?

 

Well, a simple BAH breakdown isn't the only way that you can look at home affordability.
