A quick heads up about home warranties for new buyers

I paid $600 for a home warranty my realtor suggested, and it didn't cover the main thing that broke, a faulty garbage disposal. The fine print had so many exclusions it was basically useless. Anyone have a better way to handle those first-year repair surprises?

Ugh, just save the cash yourself.

My realtor pushed one on me too, total waste. I just started putting $200 a month into a separate savings account for house stuff. That cash fund covered a new water heater last year with no hassle.
