Tips in Owning Your First Home

Are you dreaming about getting your first home but don’t know how to begin? Taking these first 3 steps will lead you to your dream house:
• Do the math on what you can afford. If you do not have cash to pay upfront, your option is to get a mortgage which should not be more than 25% of your net pay. You will have to include private mortgage insurance, property taxes, homeowners’ association fees and homeowners’ insurance.
• Ready your down payment. The down payment is usually 20% of the total house price if you don’t want to pay extra in interest and fees.
• Have your mortgage pre-approved. Most sellers will not take you seriously if you don’t have a mortgage preapproval. The seller will prioritize offers from buyers with preapproved mortgage.

You can do your search online based on factors important to you such as schools, commute time, crime and others. But technology has its limits.

When making the final choice, nothing beats tapping the expertise of an experienced agent who has the local knowledge about the pricing and the pros and cons of the homes. More than that, the agent will help you get the best deal and do the paperwork for you.

With an expert agent, you can be confident that you have made the right choice and got the best deal.
