Are you wanting to move up the property ladder? Have you been wanting to upgrade to a bigger house? If so, RTT Home Group can help you see what’s for sale in Grayhawk and let you find the perfect home for you! But first, you must make sure you’re in the right financial position to buy a new house. For most of us, buying a home will be the biggest purchase of our lives. We’ll likely obtain a home loan during the process, so here are tips for getting one:
•Start saving for your down payment. It can range from 3 percent to 20 percent of the home price.
•Check your credit score. You can request a free copy of your credit report each year online at annualcreditreport. com. You can obtain your credit score with your credit report for a small fee.
•Prepare your financial documents. They include your last two pay stubs, most recent W-2, last two years of tax returns, bank statements, and brokerage statement, if applicable.
•Use a mortgage calculator. A mortgage calculator can show you how much home you can afford and how much your monthly mortgage payment would be. Use CU Network Service’s mortgage calculator online: cunetworkservices.mortgagewebcenter.com/Resources#mbotAnchor
•Track interest rates. This will contribute to your mortgage cost. Because interest rates are relatively low, now is the best time to buy a home.
•Get pre-qualified. Real estate agents often want you to be pre-qualified for a loan. The pre-qualification process requires information such as income, savings, and investments. The process will show how much you can borrow and what you can afford.
•Learn about different loan options. Loan options include fixed-rate loans and adjustable-rate loans. You should figure out which option best suits your needs.
•Maintain good credit.
Lenders often request your credit report again before they close your loan. Therefore, before it closes, pay your bills on time, don’t apply for new credit cards, and don’t take out any new car loans.
