This month we’re going to venture just outside of Osceola County to talk about one of the most up and coming areas in Central Florida—Lake Nona. Lake Nona is quickly evolving into one of the best Central Florida neighborhoods to call home and is located within the city limits of Orlando, just southeast of the Orlando International Airport. 

With the new Medical City calling Lake Nona home, there has been an influx of families and professionals moving into this area. What was once miles and miles of uninhabited land has now been replaced with newly constructed neighborhoods, golf communities, shopping centers, schools and more. 

Although many people buy a home thinking they will live in it forever, the facts say otherwise. Whether you are outgrowing your current space, dealing with a job transfer or relocation, or simply looking to upgrade for quality of life (or maybe because your income has grown since first purchasing your starter or current home), you should ask yourself these questions to see if you are ready to upgrade to a new home in Central Florida. We want to ensure you make the right decision for yourself and your situation. 

We talk a lot about helping you achieve the “American Dream” here on the blog because it’s something that we wholeheartedly believe in here at Dream Builders Realty (heck, just look at our name). If you're new at this whole homebuying thing, one step in the financing process is deciding how long to finance your mortgage. 15 years vs 30 years. A long time versus a REALLY LONG TIME.

If you’ve heard anything about Dave Ramsey, you know he has a plan to help you take control of your money and part of his plan involves the fifteen-year vs thirty-year mortgage debate. We’re here to tell you that we agree with him when it comes to the benefits of a fifteen-year mortgage when considering your home loan. Here’s why.
