When it comes to acquiring a home there are lots of different options. Nevertheless, the best amongst all is looking for a forever home – the kind of home that they can spend the rest of their lives in. Whether this means raising a family, looking after grandchildren or just having a place to grow old in comfort and style, there are some important design elements to take into account.

Build with Durable Materials

Limit exposed wood on the building’s exterior (and not a whole lot on the inside of the house, either.) Four of the most durable materials to consider using in your house design are Brick, Stone, Iron/Steel, & Concrete.

Design a Home for Aging in Place

Consider how technology-powered devices can be easier to operate as you advanced in age. When working on a modern house with mechanisms that you can control with a smartphone or a single-tap (a valuable tool whenever impairment arises); internalize its maintenance requirements and the risks associated with malfunctions.

Cost-saving Enhancements

Design and furnish with enhancements, which will save you on maintenance costs over time. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Install CFL or LED light bulbs
These bulbs are about four times more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs and last for many years. One tip: When comparing bulbs, use the lumens number to compare bulbs, not the equivalent wattages.

Utilize timers and power strips
consider utilizing power strips and power timers to turn electrical devices on and off when appliances are not in used.

Air seal your home
The loss of cool air in the summer and the loss of warm air in winter can both increase your utility bills substantially.

Install smart-home assistant routines
Choosing Google Assistant or Alexa smart-home assistants allows you to create daily smart-home routines, scheduling when appliances turn on and off.

Smart devices
By using smart appliances, you can power off your energy-hogging thus money-leaking appliances when they are not in used.

Financial Peace of mind

Your forever home is one which will give you comfort – even financially. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or a an investor, these are the property must-haves every real estate owner should consider.

  1. Residential & Flipping purposes – Is the property ideal for residential and flipping? Other than the cost-saving enhancements and the durability of materials a home is furnished with, check the environment and its location. It is ideal to have a home situated in an area with “more room for value appreciation”; just in case you will consider reselling the property in the years to come.

 

  1. Business Integration – Can you lease it out? The best property investment is one that are self-liquidating, meaning it can pay-off the remaining balance on its own. Imagine owning a property where you only need to pay-off 20% and have 80% be paid-off through leasing. Check on how much this property will convert into a monthly rental income.
