Renting?? Kiss Your Landlord Good Bye

Own Your Own Home!!

The biggest problem many people face when making the move from renting to owning a home is the Deposit. You've been making regular payments every month for rent and can't seem to accumulate enough capital for a more permanent home.

Many times homes in your area appreciate in value faster than you can save. You should explore all possibilities and make every effort to purchase a home now and begin benefiting from the home's appreciation. But saving for your Deposit payment, doesn't need to be the mountain you've made it out to be.

You can make a much smaller down payment than you think.
Certain Banks & Lending Institutes offer buyer programs, which are intended to assist people in getting into the housing market by lending them as much as up to 100% of the value of the property. It's vital that your real estate agent has knowledge of this area and can provide you with relevant information.

A seller may help you buy and finance your home.
Some sellers might consider holding a second mortgage for you. Under these circumstances, the seller acts as a lending institution. Rather than a large lump sum payment, you pay the seller a monthly mortgage instalment.

You do not need perfect credit to buy a home.
Provided you can come up with more than the minimum deposit payment or can secure a loan using other equity, many lenders will consider you for a mortgage. If you have a less-than-perfect credit rating, it's vital that your real estate agent has knowledge of who to contact and options that are available to you.

You should get pre-approved for a loan before shopping for a home.
It is very easy to get pre-approved and by doing so, you can shop for a home in peace. Mortgage professionals can obtain a written pre-approval in very little time, often over the phone. A written pre-approval certificate is like money in the bank. All it takes is a completed credit application and a certificate that guarantees you a mortgage to a specified level when you find the home you are looking for (subject to valuation of the property). This also strengthens your bargaining position when competing with other buyers on the home you want. You should only work with a professional who specializes in home mortgages. Their services can make the difference between obtaining a home loan or being trapped paying rent forever.

Choose your agent wisely.
Working with a full-time professional real estate agent is a must. Choose your agent by asking questions of him or her. Find out how knowledgeable they are about houses currently for sale in your price range and also of houses that have recently sold . Can your agent recommend a good lender that has the reputation of excellent customer service and low rates to assist you with financing a new home? Does your agent ask questions of you in order to have a full understanding of what you are looking for to help you locate the most home for the money?
