Owning a home can offer certainty, but it also means taking responsibility when one's house needs any sort of major repair. These home repairs can often have consequences for our finances and may lead us into debt. However, with careful planning and preparation, we can take steps to not only avoid this situation but protect our properties as well.
Invest in an Emergency Buffer
Unfortunately, we cannot anticipate how costly a major home repair could be, but we can manage the impact with an emergency fund. As a rule, it's recommended that you have savings equivalent to what you usually spend over a period of six months. This can ensure that, in the event of an emergency, your commitments, such as food or health care, don't suffer. Of course, building up savings is easier said than done. A budget will be beneficial, but don’t ignore the value of a second income. After all, it’s never been more practical to profit from a “side hustle” since they have become as varied as transcribing videos to tutoring students online.
Design a Budget
When some think of a budget, it’s natural to worry about how restrictive it may have to be. Yet, a good budget can help you make positive adjustments without negatively impacting your quality of life. To start, go through some recent bank statements to compare your income to what you’ve been spending. Once that's finished, you can determine which expenses cannot be compromised and which might be changed. After that’s been assessed, it’s then a matter of monitoring everything to stay on track. This could be done with only a piece of paper, but you might go digital by using a computer spreadsheet or smartphone app.
Consider a Financial Planner
As you build up your savings, you may have more questions than answers on what you can do to maximize your emergency fund. That’s when it may be advisable to seek out support from a financial planner (expect to pay between $1,000 and $2,000 for a comprehensive financial plan). Their experience can transform your budget management, and give you options to diversify your savings for increased returns. Still, caution is vital since their suggestions can influence your financial security. So, do some research and ensure that a planner is certified, and consider avoiding those who rely on commission. With the right choice, you could find that they are a valuable ally to protect your household's finances.
Know Your Risks
By knowing the likelihood of certain risks, you can be better prepared for their impact. While you cannot prevent a hurricane from hitting your area, you can look into what types of insurance could offer coverage for a natural disaster. This is particularly important since many policies feature fine print that excludes damage incurred because of one. Likewise, you must be aware of your home showing any signs of structural decline. For instance, has your house experienced foundational issues in the past (these foundational repairs typically cost $2,318 – $6,750), or is your roof showing wear and tear? If so, you must get it dealt with promptly as the cost of not doing so can escalate over time. Keep in mind the risks that come with other items not related to your home such as your car. Car issues happen suddenly and at the worst possible time, making it an expensive headache to deal with. Stay on top of car maintenance and hire a mobile mechanic to quickly take care of any problems before they escalate further.
Using Professionals
When something major does occur, it’s best to bring in a contractor. When done correctly, they can save you money on commercial residential repair costs. Yet, finding a good contractor requires plenty of research, and the Better Business Bureau can be invaluable for this. At the least, they must be licensed, well-reviewed, and fully insured. An experienced contractor will also leave your home in excellent condition. However, while they work, things can get dusty, so it would be a good idea to put any furniture or valuables that are in the way into storage. Before you commit to a storage facility, research the best deals because prices can change significantly based on location. For instance, while the average price for a 10’x10’ self-storage unit in and around McAllen is nearly $100, there are units available for $60. As you move items into storage, you’re likely to come across some things you no longer need, so have any unwanted items and junk hauled away. Once repairs are complete, have your home deep cleaned to remove any dust, dirt, and debris that may have been tracked in.
There are countless joys that come with home ownership. To protect that joy, start prepping your family now so that your finances do not need to be turned on their head. You can ensure that your home continues to bring you happiness.
