Thinking About Buying Your First Home ?...

Buying your first home is one of the biggest Investment you will ever make . The key to making the experience fun and fulfilling is to make sure you are prepared before you start your search . Now you may ask , what do I need to do to get ready ? Where do I start ? Let me cover some of the most important steps .
Are you credit worthy ? Your credit is the biggest factor when getting approved for a mortgage loan . Your score is not the only factor taken into consideration , your credit history also plays an important part in the approval process
Get pre-approved for a loan It is highly recommended that you work with a licensed lender to get pre-approved before you begin house hunting . Pre-approval will tell you how much house you can afford and can help you move faster and with greater confidence in this competitive market . Be prepared to present documents like tax returns , pay stubs , bank statement , etc .
Prepaid Expenses & Closing Cost required It is imperative that there is cash available in reserves to pay for your inspection , appraisal , and good faith deposit . These fees are required after a contract is accepted and are upfront expenses required prior to closing on a property . These fees are required within a specific time frame of contract execution . Don ’ t be caught off guard with the closing cost required . The amount needed and what that entails should be discussed with your mortgage lender prior to starting your search .
Make sure your timing is taken into consideration . Are you currently in a lease ? When does your lease expire ? How much time does your lender need to process your loan ? Is the property you are considering a short sale ?
