Where are you in this?
Two paths through everything we publish. Each is ten steps, in the order the decisions actually arrive.
I am buying
From the questions that come before any viewing, through to completion.
- 1Start with introspection: what you and your family actually want
- 2Plan your finances: outright, mortgage, land to build, or income
- 3Narrow to a shortlist, then go and stay there off-season
I already own
Letting it, running it, staffing it and keeping it worth owning.
- 1Rent or not: the decision, and blocking your own weeks first
- 2The rules, permits and your HOA or condo board
- 3Preparing the house: owner’s closet, linen and guides
