Myth:
It's better to wait for the "perfect" time to buy or sell a home.
Reality:
Trying to time the market perfectly can be difficult and may not always result
in the best outcome.
Myth:
Renting is always cheaper than buying a home.
Reality:
In many markets, monthly mortgage payments are often comparable to or even
lower than rental costs.
Myth:
You need a 20% down payment to buy a home.
Reality:
What percentage of the home's value do you think is typically required for a
down payment?
Myth:
Owning a home ties you down and limits your flexibility.
Reality:
There are various options for homeownership, including renting out your
property or selling it if you need to move.
Myth:
Renovations always increase a home's value by more than their cost.
Reality:
Some renovations may not add as much value to a home as expected, and it's
essential to research before investing in upgrades.
Myth:
Real estate is always a safe investment with guaranteed returns.
Reality:
Like any investment, real estate carries risks, and it's crucial to do thorough
research and consider market conditions before investing.
Myth:
Buying a foreclosure is always a good deal.
Reality:
While foreclosures can sometimes be purchased at a discount, they may also come
with hidden costs or extensive repairs.
Myth:
Renting out a property is too much of a hassle and not worth the effort.
Reality:
With proper management and the right tenants, rental properties can provide a
steady source of income and long-term investment benefits.

Aiken
County is lucky to have FOTAS-Aiken, aka Friends of the Animal Shelter-Aiken,
unfortunately- especially around this time of year, the shelter experiences extreme
overcrowding (even with additions made) BUT FOTAS has come up with some really cool
programs to help these homeless animals become furever family members and try
to slow the number of intakes. These programs included: Home-to-Home, community
outreach, Doggie Day Out, out of area transfers and many others.
Check out
this week’s video where we are joined by Kathy Cagle (FOTAS Programs Coordinator),
sharing loads of information on their programs [remember we said they’re really
COOL]! So have a watch! And visit https://www.fotasaiken.org/
to learn more and see available pets for adoption!
