Want to lower your monthly HOA fees?

Homeowner Association (HOA) fees vary drastically from house to house, but the average is usually somewhere between $100 and $1,000 per month.

And while most people accept these fees at face value… There are some things that can be done to lower your monthly payments.

How is it done?

Here’s what we recommend!

Ask To See The Budget — It’s a homeowner’s right to review the HOA budget. Ask for a copy and review it. You can ask questions as they come up.

Review HOA Contracts — Many HOAs have outdated and overpriced contracts for the services they hire out for on behalf of homeowners. If possible, it’s worth reviewing and renegotiating these contracts (this is easier if you’re on the HOA board!).

Join The HOA Board — It might take a little extra time to get approved, but being on the HOA board will give you much more insight and control over the budget.

Find New Contractors — If you think that a contractor is overpriced, it’s worth finding a new contractor to lower costs.

Renegotiate Insurance — Insurance is a big part of HOA payments. Whenever your policy gets renewed, prepare to renegotiate terms with your carrier to lower your monthly payment, or investigate other insurance providers.

Property Management Fees — Property management is a large part of most HOA fees. How much is your HOA paying and is it a fair amount? It’s worth reviewing and it’s maybe worth renegotiating.

Hope that helps you lower your monthly HOA payments.

The events of the past couple of years have made it so a lot of people are now working from home.

There are a lot of benefits, of course — you can work at your own pace and on your own schedule.

But it also means you need a place to work…

Somewhere that’s free of distractions and allows you to focus.

So we thought we’d pop by and offer some tips for creating a home office if you’ve got the space. Here they are!

Find Quiet Space — More than anything, the space chosen should make it easy to focus. Maybe that means using the guest bedroom or the garage or the shed outside. Whatever the case, do what you gotta do to create some peace and quiet.

Buy Ergonomic Furniture — Ergonomic furniture (that is, furniture that improves posture) is typically a little more expensive, but it’s worth every penny. Spending a lot of time sitting makes it 100% worth it to get furniture that’s comfortable and supportive.

Eliminate Distractions — Distractions are the bane of productivity. So when creating a home office, eliminating them is top priority. Maybe that means soundproofing the room, silencing your cell phone, or having less stuff in the home office.

Make it Fun — It’s your office so have fun with it! What can be added that would make the space special and reflective of you? What could be included that would make it exciting to work there every day?

Hope that helps with creating an awesome home office.

And if you want to sell your home as-is for cash, give us a call at 469-281-6693 — we can close in as little as two weeks and we’ll even pay all closing costs!

Refinancing your mortgage is a great way to benefit from the equity you’ve built and lower your monthly payment.

But there are also some drawbacks.

At Bumble Bee Properties, we’ve worked in real estate in North Texas for quite some time. And we’ve learned a thing or two about buying, selling, and yes… even refinancing homes.

So SHOULD YOU refinance your mortgage?

Here are some considerations…

Lower Payments — Perhaps the biggest benefit to refinancing a property (and why most homeowners do so) is because it saves them money on their monthly payments. But that’s only the case if there’s quite a bit of equity in the property.

Extra Interest — Keep in mind that by refinancing the mortgage, you might be adding on some extra years to your loan and thereby adding some extra interest that you’ll have to pay over the life of the loan.

Loan Term — When refinancing, the borrower chooses either a 15-year or a 30-year term. That decision will have a huge impact on the monthly payment.

Change Loan Type — You can also change the type of loan you’ve got (since you’re essentially getting a new loan). This can be beneficial if you’re opting for a loan with a lower interest rate.

Ultimately, the choice is yours. If you’re planning to live in the property for quite a while longer and you want to lower your monthly payment, it might not be such a bad idea.

Or if you want to sell your home for a fair cash price, give us a call at 469-281-6693 — we can buy as-is and we’ll even pay all closing costs!
