Buying a home is one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make. There are some important steps you need to take to make this happen.
Know Your Price Range
The purchase amount the lender says you can afford isn’t necessarily the amount you know you can pay. Carefully evaluate your income and expenses as you go over your budget. Leave plenty of room for your mortgage payment and miscellaneous expenses.
Get Pre-Approved
You can have peace of mind getting approved for a mortgage if you have the approval before you even start looking for houses. Submit tax returns and W2 forms to the lender and await a response.
If you have pre-approval and stick with something you can afford, you should be confident about choosing the right home. Speak to a lender today to get started on the right track.
