Best Provided Place for Us

As our Pastor’s house is very far from our church we’re now looking for houses for rent for their family to move from the province to the city where they can live in the upper floor and maintain the ground floor for our church premises. It has always been our plan to look for a big house or probably a unit in the building that can be used as our church and house for our Pastor. We actually found one just half an hour away from our present church but the price is too high for our budget.

Anyway our rented building unit is good for us for now and we can stay there for another few months so we decided not to hurry and look for the best location and area for our plan. We should decide on this carefully and with balance of things in our thoughts always. We should weigh things like accessibility, rental price, accommodation, kind of community and the ambiance of the place. In God’s time I believe that we will find the best provided place for us soon.

Renters Checklist When Choosing a House to Rent

We always thought that those who are satisfied house renters are the one who made a broad preparation before they decide to move in one place. We call those individuals or group of people as wise renters. They always think many times and look for possible houses to rent available within the community or nearby cities before they finally choose their best dwelling place for temporary or for long term stay. Wise renters examine carefully the surroundings of the house and make some inquiries from other people who know the place.

Accessibility of the house is another aspect to consider. Most people look for houses with easy access to public transportation especially on places near light railway transit or train so they can still be early for work even on heavy traffic days and rush hours. Having a house in a place where there are available bus transportation is a plus also as it can carry more passengers than the small public vehicles. Our neighbor works in a place with no public vehicles but his employer provides shuttle buses so their employees will be able to comply with the work schedule time.

Once the renters decided to move in Pretoria they become aware of household things especially their monthly consumption of electricity and water because those are very important items of the renter’s checklist. Renters should study and maintain helpful ways to apply all energy saving tips given by the authorities. Using some energy saving devices like compact fluorescent bulbs or CFL can help to ease the monthly electric bill. Make it a regular habit to clean all light bulbs and remove all dust in it so that it can emit the right brightness. Renters must avoid using defective and old appliances with high wattage. Renters always check if there are defective pipes in their toilet and shower room because broken pipelines surely will contribute much in the water bill. 

When the renters choose the finest and safe houses in Johannesburg they will benefit from the spacious carport or garage because some of those houses had a big terrain. Some also have beautiful landscapes and Bermuda grasses safe and ideal for their children. Renters preferred a house with unique style inside and outside and Johannesburg has plenty of that kind. All furniture in fully furnished houses is in good condition and fitted with the right color and designs. Johannesburg is very near the government and private offices, shopping malls and public market for their usual daily needs.

Mortgage

When my husband and I were already married for 5 years we dreamed of getting our own house which we can claim as our very own house having lived with my widowed mother and younger sister since we got married. We have a very big house who can house a family of three which is what my father planned for since he has 3 kids. When my brother got married he lived near the house of his wife’s mother also but the property was theirs. So when I finally settled for good my mother asked us to live with them since they’re only two in the house and its lonely being alone in the house when my sister works outside. I really didn’t want to leave my mother but I respect my husband’s desire to look for a house of our own so we asked for a Free Mortgage Quote and immediately we were scheduled for a house-hunting by an agent of one property developer.

First we were given a list of house models with specific lot area, then we were toured and given a rundown of how we were going to pay that explaining the down payment and the monthly mortgage we’re going to give monthly given the choices of how many years we would want to pay the house and lot of our choice. As couples both working we were given an advantage of sharing a bigger income so we can really choose a much better house package because our house financing agency will give us higher credit line. Monthly mortgage then was lower than today but still is very high when you compare the kind of house you’ll be paying for many years and when you compute all the interests and downpayments the cost of the property will not only double but tripled. We decided to just apply for a lot financing only, in that way we will never be obligated to transfer immediately or live there, it can be an investment for the two of us. We opted for a much shorter period of payment to minimize the interest. After we’ve paid the last monthly mortgage we will just build our dream house little by little by our own savings.
