Years ago when we bought our first home, we fell in love with it immediately.  We made many of the mistakes that young first time buyers often do.  We were drawn in by how the home was staged and all the little things that make an older home charming.

We moved quickly to place an offer and we got the house.  Then we moved in.  But, in a matter of days problems started to pop up – plumbing, electrical, hvac issues – expensive issues!  Our charming little home very quickly became a money pit!! And, we had buyer’s remorse!

When we first saw the house, I don’t think anyone could’ve said anything to deter us from pursuing it.  We learned the hard way.  Our ignorance was not blissful – it was expensive!

So, we’ve learned to ask different questions, to be more critical – and to hire our own inspector – not the one the realtor suggests!  It was a costly lesson, but we learned it!

What’s on the inside?

We will regularly be approached with what seem like good opportunities.  Be deliberate and be discerning.  Ask questions.  Above all, pray! Never be afraid to ask, ‘what’s on the inside?’

 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge,and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

Proverbs 18:15

What’s on the inside? 

Good Morning, I love you all!
