Home Maintenance
Why?
For most individuals, their home represents their largest and most valuable asset. Surprisingly, it is often neglected when it comes to proper maintenance.
Experts generally recommend allocating 1% to 4% of your home’s value annually for maintenance and repair costs.
For instance, if your house is valued at $400,000, you should allocate between $4,000 and $16,000 per year for maintaining your home.
Remember, investing in regular maintenance helps preserve your home’s value and ensures its longevity.
