Thinking Outside the Box

Have you ever heard that term? Thinking Outside the Box. It is amazing how many people cannot think outside the box. We get so used to thinking a certain way. It is hard to think there may be another way of looking at something. For instance, you want to buy another house but you are worried about what you will lose when you sell your house. Ok, but did you ever think that the newer home you are buying has taken a hit and may be lower than what you are selling yours for???  So have you really lost anything? Case in point. I want to sell my home that used to be worth. $230K. Now it is worth maybe 190k. So I might have lost 40K on the sale of my home. However, the other home I am looking at used to be worth $250k and is now selling for $190K. Technically I just made $20k if I buy that home. Not only that you may be eligible for the $6500-
tax credit. Not bad! Actually very Good! So get out of that old box and into some new digs.
