6 Tips for Finding a House You Can Actually Afford Money.com 1/13/2021
Rising home prices are forcing buyers to get creative.
Just take recent homebuyers Zac Alfson and his husband, Bryan Henley. They were set on buying a house in downtown Orlando last fall one with a guest room, a dedicated home office and plenty of storage space. Being near bike trails was also a priority for Henley, who’s a busy ICU nurse and avid cyclist.
When it was clear the couple wouldn’t find a picture-perfect place within their price range at least downtown, they settled for a fixer-upper instead. They’re now proud residents of the Rock Lake neighborhood, just a mile from Orlando’s center.
