Location

 

You can change any aspect in you home, but you can’t change the location once the foundation is laid on your lot. In fact, location should be the most important factor you should consider. Where you live also impacts greatly on your lifestyle, so spend time researching the area you want to live in until you find a lot that’s more appropriate for you and your family.
