place for you and family to live, or a
combination of both, there are several important

is not one of those decisions that should be
taken lightly. Better to take a measured and
thorough approach than to buy hastily and regret

Affordability The sad reality about many
peoples experience with Sacramento CA, houses

wake up to that they probably bit more than they
could chew and are living in an unsustainable

personal responsibility has to come into play as
well.

themselves from financial dire straits by being
honest with themselves about their ability to
afford houses beyond their means. Don't make the

Location There are fewer more important factors
when it comes to real estate than location. This
is as true for the investment minded as it is for
those looking for nice place to live. If for
instance you buy beachfront Roseville, CA houses

to appreciate with time. The same is true if
you're looking for a place for your family. Look
at the neighborhood carefully. Better to buy
average looking Auburn, CA houses for sale in a
great neighborhood than a wonderful house in a
shady neighborhood.

for upgrades.

do these things if your mortgage has you up
against the wall each month for a number of yours
to come.
