How is your sewer bill determined?

The City of Tulsa calculates your charge for sewer service by measuring you lowest amount of water usage in the winter. It is assumed that water used in the winter is the amount going into the sanitary sewer since sprinkler systems are not active and pools are closed.

Invest your Rent

There are hidden costs to renting a home and the loss of investing your monthly payment is the biggest. Homeowners are investing their rent every month while renters are paying into their landlord’s investment account. It is shocking how many people renting a house excuse their decision with “I want to make sure I will be settled before I buy.” Of course, there are times this is prudent, however, most renter who make this excuse have done so or will do so for several years before they make their decision to purchase. It doesn’t take more than a quick glance at a mortgage amortization chart to understand why any real estate professional who cares about his client’s financial well-being would care about procrastinating with a home purchase.

Here’s the simple equation:
The sooner you buy = the longer you stay = the less you owe when you sell your home = MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET
All of this happens with money you would have spent on rent anyway

There is a reason more millionaires are made from real estate than any other investment; it is solid, predictable, useful, and affordable.
