Considering new construction home. The emotional part in me wants most of the upgrades bc we have young kids and work at this place. Its sooooo much work to keep coordinating and move stuff around. But it is just silly to pay all that through a mortgage? Is it better to just remove floors etc and do it after? Get the basics only for a smaller monthly mortgage?

I mean from a construction pov ir doesn't make sense doing stuff twice and why can't you just pay cash for what u wanna pay for?

I mean having it all done prior to closing so once we move in its done done. But that means we just added all those features to the house price and paying interest through mortgage. Vs take out those features, lower the overall house price. Then either start updating immediately after closing or move in and then slowly update. But the headache of it all. Feels like things like flooring is so much work.

You probably can’t close with no flooring so you would have to pay for the cheapest builders flooring and then tear that out and put in your new flooring. Our builder allowed us to get an outside flooring company prior to closing. They said that we had to use either their financing or their flooring supplier. Have you asked what options you have.

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?
