If you’re ready to enter the exciting new frontier of home ownership, one of your first steps will be to save up for a down payment that’s right for your budget and desired home. Even before scouting neighborhoods or finding a lender, starting a savings plan will put you in a much better position to buy your dream home. The general wisdom goes that new homeowners should save 5-20% of a home’s total sale price to put down for an initial payment. One thing to note is that if your down payment is less than 20%, you will be subject to private or public mortgage insurance payments. However, a 20% down payment simply isn’t affordable for some families. Get acquainted with a realistic number for you by visiting a mortgage calculator and plugging in your own current income stats.  Also, if you ... 08/21/2014

When you first look into buying a home, it may seem like a difficult and complicated process. By understanding what to expect, you can keep the confusion and hassle to a minimum. Here is a breakdown of common steps to home buying, from just thinking about buying a home to becoming a homeowner. Step #1 – Get Prequalified Before starting your home search, find a mortgage company and get prequalified. Prequalification allows you to determine how much you may qualify for when house-hunting. Compare at least a couple of lending companies that have a dedicated home purchase division, as they will be more knowledgeable about the latest products and regulations. Even better, ask the lender to help you get preapproved, which means you are even farther in the process and have provided the necessa... 08/19/2014
