PREPARING FOR RETIREMENT BY OWNING A HOME MAY HELP There was a time when nobody had doubts about the value of owning a home. It was considered an incredible long-term investment and ideal preparation for retirement. Today we know that real estate isn't as safe as we once thought it was, at least as a short-term investment, and Americans, young and old, are leery of sinking their life savings into a home as an investment. Knowing this, will owning a home help you retire? That depends on a number of factors, including when you purchase the home. If you buy the home in advance of retirement, when you have the time to build equity, then yes, this may help you prepare for retirement by owning a home. If you are thinking of buying your first home in retirement, there could be problems. If you...

You have purchased your first home in the Buffalo or surrounding WNY area. You are so excited when the closing date is finally set!!! At this point your licensed real estate salesperson and attorney want you to do a final walk through of the property. Generally, this should not want to be scheduled more than 24-48 hours before closing.  Up to this point there has been so much going on, the contract, the inspection, financing, getting all of the paperwork together and now you are finally approved to close! This is the final step that you need to take before you go for your closing day for your new home!!  Maybe you are wondering why this step is so important. Well just as an example, what if you agreed that the seller would leave the stove, you go for the final inspection and it is gone,...
