Is it big family gatherings around the pool or the firepit in the backyard? Is it the clink of wine glasses overlooking the ocean? Is it picking fresh vegetables from your own garden? A carousel of images may come to mind, ranging from hectic scenes in “Family Vacation” (minimalists living off the land) to episodes from the series “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.” In the simplest terms…our lifestyle is our way of living. Its a fluid combination of intangible and tangible factors that affect our world view and how we see ourselves in it. It’s what we do and how we do it. It’s our likes, our dislikes and the purposeful choices we make. Its how we engage and relate to the physical, psychological, social and economic aspects of the world around us. It’s our patterns of consumption, and entertainment. One’s gender, age, family, education, socioeconomic status, social networks and interpersonal interactions all influence our choice of lifestyle. Our lifestyle can reflect our attitude and priorities, our sense of beauty and style, our pastimes and passions, our identity and self-image. Our lifestyle may express our individuality as well as membership in a group or our social status. It’s sometimes, but not always, reflected in how we want the world to see us…how we dress, the cars we drive, where we live and the HOME we live in. Regardless of what it means to you, the lifestyle you have chosen, the most significant outward expression and investment of our Lifestyle is our HOME. Nothing expresses our lifestyle more than our HOME.

As a physical structure a house provides for our most basic needs…a shelter, a place of security, of privacy. Comedian George Carlin lovingly joked “It’s a place to put our stuff”. From the basics to the extravagant, a house is decorated with our favorite possessions and collected treasures that reflect our identity and our sense of style. The type of home, the neighborhood and the location, can further reflect our personal tastes and outside interests. For many, their home is a way of making a statement of who they are, what they have accomplished, and their level of achievement and success

A home is much more than just a house. There is a magic in what is probably the nicest word in any language…a universal magic which conjures up good warm feelings centered around family and friends. Some say an ache for home lives in all of us, because that’s where the heart is. Its where you live, love and feel most comfortable to be your most authentic self. It's where you can celebrate the good times and muddle through the bad times. It's where you enjoy the present and dream about the future.

The experiences you have in life tell a story and are reflected in who you are and how you feel, and this is then reflected in your home. It's great to have guests visit and feel that our home represents us, expressing how we see ourselves, where we've been and what we value. “Home” may be intangible and difficult to define, but you know it when you're there.

Homeownership is the heart and soul of the American Dream. Its where you live, and belong, put down roots, establish friendships and most often raise a family. It means you have reached a level of success and finally arrived as an adult to take your rightful place in the world.  Owning a home engenders pride, represents a level of accomplishment, and enhances self-esteem. Homeownership is the cornerstone of a strong community because you have a stake in what happens. Owning a home means you have a piece of the pie, a sense of belonging with responsibilities to your neighbors and community. Homeownership builds strong communities and promotes good citizenship.

Owning a home is a keystone of wealth and one of the most common ways to build financial affluence and security, as well as building a legacy that can be handed down for generations to come. For many, their home becomes the foundation for a comfortable retirement.  For others, a home purchase marks the beginning of their real estate investing career.   Easy entrance with low downpayment, low risk and high long term returns, and constant rental demand make it an ideal first investment.   So many people start by turning their home into their first rental property and repeat the process over and over again to build their own little real estate empire.  With the 1031 exchange process single family rental homes can be traded into larger multi-unit residential and commercial properties.  Through family trusts a real estate legacy can be handed down to future generations.  That’s how wealth is built.  Andrew Carnegie claimed that 90% of all millionaires get to that level of wealth through an investment in real estate.
