Home Buyer Tip: Real Estate and Bicycles - Sometimes older beats nice new!
I must have been about 10 years old and my father paid my uncle five bucks for my cousin's used bike. I wanted a new bike.
Back then the kids were riding these really cool bikes with banana seats.
Mine Ours was a cruiser - traditional, dated, a little bit of rust, similar to the one here but red (and, like me, not made for speed)!
Sometimes when buying a home a buyer must "get a five dollar bike."
At some point in time you can move up to that new, sleek bicycle.
As for me.... I used that bike for years. It served its purpose.
If you are a first time buyer, perhaps you should look at a resale that is functional and easily in your budget.
There is nothing that says if you are qualified for $200,000 you have to spend $200,000!
Thinking back on my $5 bike I remember something my brother told me - "a rusty ride beats a well dressed walk!" Sounds a lot like "an older house beats nice new rental!"
