You may love a property because of its large yard and beautiful landscaping, but unless you have a green thumb and the time to dedicate to maintaining it, you’re going to need someone to come in and mow, weed and take care of those flowers and shrubs. The last thing you want is that picturesque outside looking like a jungle. Check with local yard contractors to see what a service like this will cost.

Also, don’t forget that you’re most likely going to want to make some changes or upgrades within the home, so be sure to make a list of all the projects you’re considering—such as adding new carpeting, drapes or appliances—and leave room in your budget for some of these costs each month.

You may need to adjust the cost of the home you’re looking to buy, but in the long run, it will make for a less stressful life once you move in.
