PEARLS AND POEMS Home, Sweet Home Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home; A charm from the sky seems to hallow us there, Which, seek through the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere. Home, home, sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home, oh, there's no place like home! An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain; Oh, give me my lowly thatched cottage again! The birds singing gayly, that come at my call -Give me them -- and the peace of mind, dearer than all! Home, home, sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home, oh, there's no place like home! I gaze on the moon as I tread the drear wild, And feel that my mother now thinks of her child, As she looks on that moon from our own cottage door Thro' the woodbine, whose fragrance shall cheer me no more. Home, home, sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home, oh, there's no place like home! How sweet 'tis to sit 'neath a fond father's smile, And the caress of a mother to soothe and beguile! Let others delight mid new pleasures to roam, But give me, oh, give me, the pleasures of home. Home, home, sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home, oh, there's no place like home! To thee I'll return, overburdened with care; The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there; No more from that cottage again will I roam; Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. Home, home, sweet, sweet, home! There's no place like home, oh, there's no place like home! John Howard Payne
PEARLS FROM PAULA Setting Goals & Budgeting for Home Buying For most, buying a home will be one of the biggest decisions and financial investments in your life. Take the time to consider the housing market, interests rates, your future, etc. before making the commitment
1.
What are your goals? Is this a 5 year plan or a long term investment? Do you have a stable income? Are you planning to stay at your job? Will you be getting married or starting a family?
How much can you afford? Financial Gurus suggest your mortgages should be 25% or less of your total gross monthly income. If you are paying off other loans or debts, your monthly payments, including the mortgage, should not total over 45% of your total monthly income.

2.
What are you looking for? Make a list of your must-haves in a home. Though we all want to find our “dream home” try to be realistic about what your needs are vs. your wants.
