MONDAY: BUYER’S GUIDE
🏡 BUYERS: HOW MUCH HOME CAN YOU REALLY AFFORD?
Getting pre-approved isn't just about finding out how much a lender will loan you.
You also want to understand:
💰 Your monthly mortgage payment
🏦 Property taxes
🛡️ Homeowners insurance
🏘️ HOA fees, if applicable
💵 Down payment
📋 Closing costs
💰 Money you should keep in reserves
Just because you're approved for a certain amount doesn't mean you have to spend that much.
The goal isn't just to buy a house. It's to buy a home you can comfortably afford.
