What You Didn't Know About Home Loans
Thinking about buying a home? 🏡 Before you dive in, make sure you really understand how home loans work—there’s more to it than just the monthly payment!
We’ve put together some important things you might not know about home loans that can help you feel confident and prepared.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) payment platforms make sending money easy—but once funds are sent, they’re usually gone for good. Scammers exploit this with tricks like fake refunds, bogus utility bills, and phony payment receipts. Only send money to people you know and trust, and always verify before transferring funds.
Make saving effortless by automating it.
It’s easy to forget about that streaming service, fitness app, or free trial that quietly turned into a monthly charge. Hidden recurring fees can sneak up on your budget. Take a few minutes every few months to review your bank and credit card statements, spot any unused subscriptions, and cancel what you don’t need. It’s a simple way to free up extra cash without making major changes.
