First Time Home Buyer help
|
Once you have your money lined up and know how much you may spend, it is time to
start house hunting. You secure the money first; because everyone is looking for the
best house in the greatest neighborhood. That one house will draw multiple buyers.
You needed to prepare to act fast.
Do yourself a favor and keep your search criteria a little loose. Remember you are
buying not renting. Statistically you will live in your new home for at least 5 years.
That is plenty of time to rip out pink shag carpet or paint a lime room over. Those are
just cosmetic things. When you find a sound structure in a great location, with the right
size yard and number of needed bedrooms and baths at your price point .... go for it..

As a First Time Home Buyer you may find the buying process overwhelming and odd. Think about it. If you walked into Starbuck's and they asked you to show your money before ordering, you'd probably be offended. Yet it is the first thing you need to do when preparing to buy a home.

If you are a CASH BUYER you will need a 'POF' Proof of Funds letter from
your Bank.
You may also want to consider buying Auction property.
Where do you find a lender and do all bankers offer what you want and need?
If you have good to excellent credit with plenty of down payment money most any bank or credit
union may assist you.
It is always advisable to receive multiple quotes, compare interest rates and ferret out all those
extra fees such as underwriter and origination costs to find a true bottom line.
If your credit isn't the greatest or you often receive texts from your bank letting you know your account has reached a zero balance ... don't despair
