Is Your House Design or Home Plan Legal?

If you are planning to build a new home please, by all means be sure that your house design or home plan is legal for YOU to build. When I say “legal” I’m referring to the fact that a “home plan license” or “license to build” is required….just like a license to drive or license to hunt. How did you get your house plan? Did you have a local draftsperson or architect design for you? It is a common misunderstanding that it is okay to redraw a plan or make changes on a plan you find in a book, website or even from a constructed home. If you find a home plan that you like, you must purchase a set of plans from the original plan designer or an authorized source. It is crucial that you have a legal set of plans, so be sure to learn the facts before you begin the planning process.

Include the Cost of Window Coverings in Your New Home Mortgage!

Most folks don’t consider the cost of window coverings until they move into their new home. This cost can be included into a monthly mortgage payment, from what we understand.

Imagine moving in to your new home complete with custom coverings; instead of living in a fish bowl until you have the extra money to order your new blinds. Including the price of a typical window and door covering package into a new mortgage may increase a typical monthly mortgage payment by about $4 - $9 per month, depending on the type you choose. Now doesn’t it make more sense to include this necessity into your house payment?

Remember to shop online for your window coverings to save the most dollars. We have a ton of resources and are happy to hold your hand during this wonderful new home venture! Call us for more info - 870-931-5777 or email info@nelsondesigngroup.com!
