Selling our home and moving to a new province has come with many ups and downs. It will be very difficult leaving Nova Scotia and our home that we slowly renovated over the last 5 years. We did these renovations with the intention to make this house our own and stay a while longer. Plans changed - but the good news is that the upgrades we made added value to our home which helped increase the price we got for our home value. It’s incredible looking back to see how far we’ve come based on the decisions we made investing in real estate. This house was actually the third property that we purchased and lived in. Fun fact - we still own our very first condo and keep it as an investment rental property. When we first became homeowners 17 years ago, it was a steep learning curve and we would have LOVED to have access to advice and assistance from @PineappleMortgage to help guide us through purchasing a home. Pineapple is an industry leading mortgage brokerages who are committed to finding you the best rates and expert guidance along the way to help you save money and cut the stress out of the home buying process Nova Scotia will always be “Home” for us and we plan to come back to visit each summer. A huge goal of mine (3-5 years) is to purchase a summer home here in Nova Scotia. We would use it as a short term rental for 10 months each year and then enjoy it as a family cottage in the summer. A girl can dream right? My thought process is that it would provide us a place to call “home” when we visit family and it will be an additional investment property to add to our portfolio. If you’re interested in investing in real estate like me, I highly recommend reaching out to a pineapple agent to help put you on the right path! I’ll soon share more about the house we bought in Vancouver! I’m looking forward to taking you all along as we move across the country into our next home. #pineappleandfriends #pineapplepartner #PineappleMortgage #GoPineapple
