What I need to before I even look at buying a house?
I know a mortgage rate is better than a fixed variable (9 times out of 10). I have reviewed some of the online calculators and I am having trouble with taxes and insurance rates, as I will be a first time buyer. Any idea where I can find this information? Any general suggestions? We work on repayment of our credit cards, car and student loans .. Saving as much as we can for a deposit .. Emcee H – I thank you for the advice, but We're nowhere near there yet! I will definitely make sure it is done before going too far. Also, a little more info .. I'm in the burbs Chicago, if that helps anything.
I know that buying your first home can be very intimidating, but remember that is not as complicated as it seems, and there are a lot of industry people and resources to help you. home purchase for dummies was the book I used and it was super helpful. I bought my house a few years ago in the middle of the housing bubble and is more difficult to get financing now. The good news is that prices are down low …. my advice is: Make sure your credit is good, and do whatever you need to get smaller because your interest rate will be a reflection of the quality of your credit. also make sure you have at least 5% of the cost of the house in cash because you'll probably need to be filled, but not always …. Make sure you have a little extra thousand dollars because most people feel they have immediate repairs, expenses, etc. related to the house when they move You'd be surprised …. I bought a house that needed a little work, and I have some savings. but I'm the kind of person who likes to fix stuff and renovation, etc. …… watch as many houses as you can, and make sure that your inspector is reputable. building inspector ugly cost you a lot of money on the road from me! Play hardball when it comes time to negotiate. Do not let your realtor tell you that the seller does will not get any value if you feel they are in fact ….. remember your salesperson is a percentage of the total cost of the house, so a price less rate means less money for them! obtain a real estate agent you trust, and perhaps even one that is recommended by a friend ….. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck
