Determine Your Budget: Calculate how much you can afford to spend on a home. Consider your current savings, income, and expenses. You may want to consult with a financial advisor or mortgage lender to get a better understanding of your financial capacity.
Check Your Credit Score: A good credit score is crucial when applying for a mortgage. Review your credit report, address any issues, and work on improving your credit score if necessary.
Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage: Before you start house hunting, get pre- approved for a mortgage!! This will give you a clear idea of how much you can borrow and what your interest rate might be. Offers in this area mostly need that done and will accompany the offer paperwork. Beware of the big-name loan institutions. They are not always the best deal. In-state local is smarter in our opinion and experience. Get pre-approved for a mortgage!!!!
