SEVEN STEPS FOR SUCCESS TO BUYING A HOME
Step One:
Establish Your Needs And Wants
Begin your search for the perfect home by making a careful assessment of the kind of home you need and want. I recommend that you do this in writing. So take some time, right now, be as specific as you can about your particular requirements.
Step Two:
Determine How Much You Can Afford.
Set up a budget for yourself. Decide how much you can really afford to invest monthly for your house payment. Be realistic here. Most lenders want your payment (including taxes) to be no more than 32% of your total monthly income.
Step Three:
Get Pre-Qualified Or Pre-Approved
You can save yourself a lot of time and heartache by meeting with a lender before you start your search for a home.
A lender can let you know what specific loan programs would be best for you. They can also help you understand what it takes to qualify for the loan that you want.
By taking a look at your financial situation and looking at your credit history, a lender can usually give you a good idea if you can qualify for the loan that you want.
Many lenders call this "Pre-Qualifying A Buyer". If you would like to be certain that you can be approved for a loan, you may want to ask to be pre-approved. In the approval process, all of you documentation is completed and submitted to an underwriter.
The pre-approval that you will get back is an actual loan commitment from a lender. This means that you definitely qualify for a loan. The next step is finding a home that also qualifies for the loan.
