Check phone service before buying a house
In this day and age where phones are essential for every aspect of life, you would not want to live in a place with spotty reception. So, if you are looking to rent a new apartment or buy your first house, you might want to ensure that the cell signal is plentiful and reaches every single corner of the building.
This is not so much a hack but rather a piece of advice on how to make the best decision possible. It will only take a few minutes, though. Whenever you are touring a property, try going into every room and checking your phone’s signal. If you come to a sport where a site takes ages to load, then maybe that is not your dream home.
