HOME BUYING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

When starting to look for homes, it is important to understand your goals and objectives. Ask yourself questions like what are you looking for? Where are you looking to be? How soon are you planning on buying? 

To answer the questions above, you have to separate your wants from your needs. You may want a six-bedroom four-bathroom house with an indoor pool, but you may only need a two-bedroom, one-bathroom home. You may get some of your wants in the process, but the goal is not to set the bar too high. When you are buying for the first time, your goal should be to get your foot in the door and invest in a home that you can afford comfortably. 

Location is an important aspect to consider when looking for a home to buy. Research the area you are interested in. Consider work commute, schools, shopping, transportation, parks, etc.

Another aspect to consider is what time frame you have to purchase a new home and move in. If you have kids, you may want to think about buying before their schools start. 

It is crucial to think about the goals and objectives when buying a house. These goals will keep you true to the decision and prevent you from an investment you may not be comfortable with.
