@whit.sells.westchester: Most people figure these out the expensive way. Three things to set up in your first week of owning a home—and the first one is free and takes about five minutes. 🏡 Create an email address just for the house. Send every warranty, receipt, invoice, contractor estimate and home-related document there. Years from now, you’ll be very glad you did. 💰 Start a separate savings account for home repairs and maintenance. Houses have a funny way of needing expensive things at the least convenient time. Start building the cushion before you need it. 🔑 And if anyone depends on your income, review your life insurance and make sure your coverage makes sense now that you have a mortgage and a home to protect. Buying the house is only the beginning. A few simple systems from day one can save you a lot of stress—and potentially a lot of money—later. Save this for closing day, or send it to someone who just got their keys. 🔑🏡 Your Westchester County Top Realtor, Whitney Okun Licensed Real Estate Salesperson 917-848-9229 [email protected]

Smart homebuyers won’t purchase a home requiring a $10K a year safety net for repairs. Smart homebuyers invest in something called a home inspection prior to the sale, so the inspector can identify the reasons not to spend $10K a year on repairs.

One can barely afford the down payment and mortgage let along save a chunk every month. It would be nice, but I don’t have that kind of money

Just use the Gmail plus addressing feature. Now you don’t have to worry about managing another email account.

Why do an email for the house? Just create a folder on your own email.
