Finding a House You Can Afford

Henry County is one of the fastest-growing in the state, and for good reason. Its nearness to Atlanta while still being away from the hustle and bustle is ideal for many new homeowners. Yet, because of its popularity, finding an affordable house in Henry County may seem impossible.

But it doesn’t have to be.

Here are a few tips and tricks to finding an affordable home:

1. Look for Homes That Need a Little TLC
If you are on a pretty tight budget, chances are it’ll be difficult finding your dream home in your budget. Don’t be afraid to look at properties that need some love. You may be able to find a house that has been stigmatized for whatever reason, or may need a new layer of paint and a few panes of window glass. If you take charge and do the repairs yourself, you can save big --- and increase the value of the house.

2. Look for Additional Income Homes
Before that bedroom becomes a nursery, it can make you money. Having the additional income from a renter can offset much of your mortgage bill every month. Just be aware that renting out a room can complicate taxes a bit, since it could be considered a business. Talk with your accountant or tax expert to make sure you are following the law.

3. Trust Your Real Estate Agent
Your real estate agent has been trained and certified to find you the best home for your situation. Sometimes that process takes a week, while other times you may look at different homes for a month. Whatever the situation, trust that your agent is looking out for your best interest.
