Any tips or suggestions from you all that have been homeowners for a while??
First of all, congratulations, I remember building our first home over ten years ago.
My main advice for being new to homeowning.... change the furnace filter EVERY MONTH.
thanks for the great tips so far everyone. So another question i have, is the 1 year homeowner's insurance worth the $400 bucks they charge?

1. Keep the water out. This is a priority.
2. Take one room/area a year and re-model it.
3. Kitchens and bathrooms are good to re-model, everything else will not bring you a return on the investment and is an expense.
4. Pay extra on the mortgage every month, even if $100. Over time it will help.
5. I use Medeco locks with Polaris steel doors. Shattergard on my windows.
6. Painting the outside is a cheap re-model and really does help curb appeal.
7. Live uptight and out-of-sight.
8. Domestic bliss is key. Know your neighbors, a bottle of wine at Christmas is a worthy investment.
