Home remodeling has a lot to do with what you have in mind as to what you need your home to look like. In home remodeling, you have a variety of choice to make. This may include the architectural and structural analysis of the property. Earthing/landscaping of the environment, rebuilding or introducing a garden, swimming pool e.t.c. that is talking about the exterior. That of the interior could include the furniture, kitchen units, baths lighting, pieces of fine art work repainting of the whole building and other features that could meet your taste.

The 1950s were a time of optimism and innovation. And a new style of home was being built in the hills north of San Francisco. Joseph Eichler hired a team of architects to design a hip, new type of home for the middle class. The homes had to be affordable, progressive and above all modern.

Eichler homes had very few walls, a lot of glass and a center atrium that took advantage of the California climate and made the homes feel even larger. The homes also featured the latest conveniences including built-in dishwashers and high-tech ovens. This home is a perfect example of how space age design met modern convenience in San Francisco.

Home Loans


Let's talk about home loans.


It is true that most of us think about owning our home rather than live in a rented apartment. But in most cases, we are sort of the finance to move on. This is when the issue of home loan comes up. There is a popular saying that "NO LOAN, NO HOME"! To a reasonable extent, it is true.


Be that as it may, it is very important you understand as much, what it takes to get a home loan, how to determine what type of loan is available, what type that is best for you, where to start your search e.t.c. My suggestion is that you read as much as you can about home loan process, with that information and your intention, then consult your local professional mortgage broker or lender. They will advise you better.




If you have sourced home loan online, especially first time home buyers, you would find out there are a lot of mortgage sites quoting very low rates on loans, WATCH OUT! most of them are not what you see. You need to talk to a local expert to understand it more, there are different strokes for different folks.

You can actually have a good deal with home loans. You need to consider these too:

About mortgage, it is important to know that rates are based on your individual needs and financial situation. The rates quoted online and on phones are not always the accurate representation of what you are qualified to receive. Most of the quotes are applicable only to those individuals with a perfect credit records.


Consider this qualifying factors as crucial elements before shopping for a home loan:

CREDIT


You should have a good credit record. If your credit record is perfect, in terms of early payment , then you have a better chance than one with a poor credit record.


DEBT TO INCOME

Lenders use your debt to income to verify that you have the means to pay a monthly mortgage



DOWN PAYMENT

Several loans are available with little down payment; however, most of those with lower DP, has a higher interest rate. It is advisable you evaluate your finances and estimate
maximum amount of money you can afford to put down on your new home.


The higher the down payment, the lower the interest rate!



EQUITY

If you are looking to refinance, receive a home equity loan,consolidate debts or make home improvements, then you need to know how much equity you have in your house before you apply. Most of the time, the more equity you have, the more more money you can borrow.

My Dream Home










A dream good home is not made overnight. It takes interest, conviction, focus, commitment and planning.

Egele Gabriel has been planning for her good home for the past 10 years. For 10 years, she has been poring over magazines, looking for ideas and tearing out pictures of furniture that she loved. For 10 years, she has been collecting lighting fixtures, and decorative hardware and antiques to adorn her future home. For ten years, she and her family has lived in a small home in Ehugbo, anticipating when they would be able to see their dream home.

Now, on the very piece of land that they lived for the past decade, Egele and Gabriel has built a romantic French Country dream home that looked like it has been lived and loved for a very long time. Perhaps it embodies the fruits of 10 years of planning. Perhaps it has been filled with inviting furnishings from Big Uncle's Castle furniture. But mostly because Egele loved the old European look and did not want a dream home that looked like it was built yesterday. "I want a house were you could be comfortable" Egele says, were you come in, put up your feet up and feel at home.

Just like Egele, If you want to make your dream home that is adorable and comfortable, be it a little convenient home in a lovely neighborhood, with trees around it keeping the environment shady. A cozy garden with a well manicured lawn, where you an feel the heavenly interactions of the birds singing. Quiet enough that you can hear dogs barking in a distance, ice cubes tinkling into frosty aluminium glasses and faint gale of laughter erupting from the neighbor's house down the street. Or a dream home creatively isolated from a common neighborhood where you can view the wonders of nature as the sun sets, from your pent house. Whatever your dream home may be, you need to envision it and plan for it, and of course, before long, you would have been in your adorable dream home.



Remember, whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
