Determine the area

Once you’ve figured out your property type, it’s the second most important thing to do is determine the area where you want to live. Of course, everyone wants to choose an area to live that is close to work, or a place to live with full facilities around or find a property with a beautiful lake view… It’s really important because you will have to spend billions of money to enter that house, not hundreds of thousands or millions. I repeat, “That’s billions”. Therefore, determine the area you really want to be in before taking the third step.
