Real Estate Home Buying Process
You've started dreaming about what it might be like to own a home. But where do you even start the process? Here's the top 6 steps you need to take:
1) Start looking at your finances - how much money do you have for a down payment and other home buying expenses?
2) Start researching your credit score and explore what "debt to income ratio" means;
3) Interview and hire a trusted realtor to step you thru the process (don't worry, you don't pay for the realtor's expertise - the seller usually pays the realtor's commission.)
4) Talk to a lender - Your realtor can give you some names of trusted lenders - find out what type of loan and the amount of a mortgage that you qualify for;
5) Check in on your comfort level - what you can qualify for may not necessarily be what payment you are comfortable with;
6) Research different school districts and neighborhoods online to find out what your $$$$'s will buy in different areas;
Now you're ready to start looking at some homes....
