Tip 1: Keep in mind that when you buy a house, you’re also buying your home. Ask yourself these very basic questions.
- What is the distance to public transportation, highways, etc.
- What public and local schools are in the area?
- Am I buying as an investment vs. long-term goal.
Tip 2: Calculate your payments and include future incidentals like these:
- Loss of employment.
- Increase in personal expenses.
- Unexpected financial upheaval.
Tip 3: I recommend that all buyers take time to to make a list of basic wants and needs. For example, for some people having a Jacuzzi is a real need (perhaps for medical reasons). For other people a Jacuzzi would be nice to have but not a real need, so it would be a want.
If I can help you in any way, whether you have questions or would like me to assist you in your home search…when you’re ready call me Frank Tangredi.
Happy first time home buying!
