I love this office with its wood floors and windows. It helps me think clearly just to be here. It allows me to be inspired. It gives me a place to have my "alone" room. I can get so much done here in the peace and quiet.

A Home for Everything
Everything and everyone needs a home... Even my business! We need a good business location that is a place accessible to our clients, has enough space for all of our desks and files, and is a convenient distance from relevant locations. Better Homes Solutions LLC has had a home that fits many of these characteristics.
For the past year and a half, our business home has been located in a beautiful old building in downtown Johnson City. This building used to be the train station. For a while, the bottom floors were occupied by restaurants - The Sophisticated Otter and Picasso's - but after a while, each restaurant went out of business. Now a local church has made the bottom two floors its home. Our business has been in a room on the third floor. Are you seeing an issue already with the location? The view is very beautiful - no doubt about that. However, the six flights of stairs that you have to hike up just to pay a visit gets old fast, especially if you're carrying a load of files and computers. The beautiful old building is just that: beautiful and old. The door and window frames don't seal like they used to, the rooms are drafty and always cold in the winter. The windows are not sturdy. Birds have made nests in the outer layer of bricks. More than once, the wind has knocked the office window out of the frame and into the floor of the office, leaving shards of glass everywhere. And of course, if the window is out of the frame, wind and rain wreak havoc on the electronics and paperwork stored in the office.
So, we are scouting for a new home. We're looking for a change: enough of climbing stairs, birds building nests in the walls, windows falling into the office when we have a bad storm, and cold, drafty winters. We are looking for a home that is on the ground floor. We want a great downtown location. And we want a place with history. We are looking for a place that will be easy access for all of our visitors.
Stay tuned because we may have found the PERFECT place!!! To be continued...

We Find Solutions For Home Buyers
Some people think home ownership is an unobtainable dream. There seem to be so many things standing in the way to owning a home. But for every problem there is a solution and we work hard to find them for those wanting a home of their own. Holly overcame some of her obstacles and was able to move into one our "rent-to-own" homes, even with a bankruptcy on her financial record.
After years of apartments and spending up to a third of her income renting someone else's property, she decided she had enough of landlords and living in less than desirable homes. She wanted her own home. She'd been through bankruptcy, so her credit wasn't great. But she was working on it and her efforts were paying off with a credit score that was rising steadily.
Holly tried getting a mortgage from a bank, but even with a large down payment the interest rate would have been too high (another obstacle to home ownership). She found Better Home Solutions LLC on the Internet and read about how how our company helps people get into a home of their own with the Rent-to-Own option.
Holly had lots of questions and we explained how our Rent-to-Own option could help her become the owner of her own home even without a huge down payment and a high credit score. Because she had a great rental history, no criminal record, and had taken steps to improve her credit, she was able to move in with a minimal down payment and very affordable monthly payments. Now Holly is building up her own bank account by building up her deposit account every month. In a few years, she will have saved enough to afford a nice down payment on her home.
Just a short while ago, Holly couldn't see how she would ever be able to afford her own home. But now she is well on her way to fulfilling that dream. Good for Holly! We admire and applaud her.
Holly's hard work paid off.
It can happen for you, too!
