Southern California prices difficult to get started.

I was the realtor representing my wife and I and this was our first purchase!

30 year fixed 10% down.

How did you add value to the deal?

changed origional 15 year old carpet on bottom floors and master bath to 8mm vinyl plank. Will soon be changing dirt backyard to rock or mulch.

Having a trusty reliable contractor is so important! Also they take way longer than origionally quoted.
