Prepare for your home purchase

February 12, 2016 by Jerri.Stracener Leave a Comment

Prepare for your home purchaseWhen buying a home, there are a few steps that will help prepare for your home purchase. You need to make sure you’re ready to buy by applying for a mortgage that fit your budget. Before doing that, it’s a good idea to check your credit score and credit report for errors, pay down your existing credit cards and don’t charge them to the max, and shop for mortgage rates all at once, to avoid multiple credit inquiries.

When you find a home you love, go ahead and make an offer, instead of trying to guess about future market conditions or interest rates. It can be difficult to find a home, so consider conditions, features you may want, or cosmetic upgrades that are needed, that could cause you to skip over a home. Sometimes, that home may be ideal with a few minor changes.

To be ready for your purchase, you need to make sure you can borrow the money. This will help you to be ready to move when the right home comes on the market. You will need to make a good offer to increase your chances of getting the home, and budget for repairs that you may want or need to make.

There are many other things to consider when buying a home. Click the link below to download your copy of “The Answer Book for Buyers”. It’s full of tips to make your home buying experience a good one!
