When you own a home, some hidden, extra costs can sneak up on you.

Buying a home is not just about the money you spend up front. It's also about the rest of the money you have to spend beyond the actual purchase of the home.

To start, find out what the property taxes are, what your water bill might be, and what a standard electric bill will be in the home you're buying.
Before buying, find out the cost of property taxes and average utility bills.
