6 Mistakes First-Time Home Buyers Should Avoid:

1. Not Hiring a Real Estate Agent: An experienced agent can guide you through the process and help you find the right home.
2. Not Keeping an Eye on Your Credit Score: A good credit score is crucial for securing favorable mortgage terms.
3. Looking for Homes Before Getting Pre-Approved: Being pre-approved helps you understand your budget and shows sellers you’re serious.
4. Not Shopping Around for a Mortgage: Compare rates and terms from different lenders to find the best deal.
5. Buying More House Than You Can Afford: Stick to your budget to avoid financial strain.
6. Skipping the Home Inspection: An inspection reveals potential issues with the property, preventing costly surprises later.

Avoid these pitfalls to make your home-buying experience smoother and more successful!

Do I Have to Sell My House Before I Start Looking at Buying? 🤔🏡

Not necessarily! You can start looking for a new home before selling your current one, but it's important to understand a few things:

1️⃣ Pre-Approval: Get pre-approved for a mortgage to know your budget.
2️⃣ Contingency Clauses: Consider including a contingency clause in your offer, making it dependent on selling your current home.
3️⃣ Financing Options: Explore bridge loans or other financing options to help you manage both transactions.

Starting your search early can give you a better idea of what's available and help you make informed decisions.

Looking 👀 for a new recipe? 🤔 🎬 TikTok: foodies.stay.fit

Honey Lime Chicken 🐓

1 chicken breast thinly sliced
Seasoned with:
Paprika
Chili powder
Salt & pepper

1 lime juiced
2 tbsp honey

For the Cucumber & Avocado Salad:
1/2 cucumber quartered
1 avocado cubed
1/2 red onion sliced
1 tosp honey
Salt & pepper to taste
1 lime juiced
Minced cilantro

For the sides I made white rice and added 1/2 cup to my plate and approximately 1 cup of shredded lettuce.

Notes: slice chicken breast. Season the chicken. On a medium pan on (medium heat) add 1/2 tbsp avocado oil then add chicken once the pan is very hot. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until no longer pink. Turn heat down then add lime juice and honey. Allow for it to simmer for another 3-4 min or until sauce turns thick in texture. For the salad cut the veggies add all into a bowl and mix well.
