The whole lock-cleaning process will only take you a few minutes, but can help you save on the cost of lock replacement.

Choosing to buy your first home is a monumental decision, if you’re considering buying a second home, put as much thought and care into that decision as you did the first time around. As a seasoned homeowner, you know the work that comes along with owning your home. Consider if you’ll be prepared to make the same commitment with a second home. To help you determine what’s best for you, we’ve put together a few questions to consider before you make the leap into second home ownership.

Buying a second home is financially different than buying your first home. Typically, you’ll need a considerable down payment in order to buy. Lenders may require up to 25 percent down.

Warm weather means that spring is on the way, and with spring comes the sunny Southern California summer right on its heels. And where better to be in the sunshine than out on the water, riding the waves on a brand-new kayak or paddleboard?
