Here are a few important things to consider when making this major life decision:
Understand your finances
- Talk to a professional loan advisor about your assets, debts, and credit history to see if you prequalify for a mortgage
Get your paperwork in line
- Your mortgage lender will require a lot of personal information to build your loan!
- Start gathering:
- Recent tax returns
- Bank Statements
- Pay Stubs
Set aside your down payment
- Depending on which loan product you're applying for, you will typically need to reserve 3%-20% of the sale price!
- If you qualify, some loans allow you to purchase with no money down or monetary gifts from your family
Get preapproved
- A preapproval from your lender will help you learn how much you will be able to afford - plus reassures sellers that you are ready to make your move!
Find your new home
- Make sure to factor in your daily commute, shopping, recreation, and local school systems!
