Real Estate Survival Guide: Buyer's Checklist

I’m always on the hunt for relevant info and I loved this - one of the best articles I’ve seen on this topic for a while. Here are a few paragraphs as a taster...

Figure out how much house you can afford.

• Calculate your monthly income and debt.
• Check your credit report and FICO score.
• Use FrontDoor's mortgage calculator.
• Figure out your down payment.

Get pre-approved for a mortgage.

• Choose a type of mortgage.
• Speak to at least five lenders and mortgage brokers.
• Shop for the best interest rates and programs.

Determine what you want and need in a home.

• Choose a location (downtown, urban, suburban, rural).
• Choose a type (single family, townhouse, condo, loft).
• Choose a price range.
• Choose a size.
• Choose an architectural style.

Pretty valuable stuff, I’m sure you’ll agree! Why not check out the whole article here and share your thoughts with me afterwards: call (0403) 296-221 or email me at [email protected]
