Key Takeaways
Buy Title Insurance: Michelle's number one tip is to purchase title insurance when buying a home or property. It offers peace of mind and protection against unforeseen issues like easement disputes or lack of access to municipal roads.
Review Zoning Regulations: Thoroughly review the zoning regulations for your property. Understanding the current state of zoning and considering future plans or aspirations is crucial.
