How much house can you afford? Knowing you want to buy a home is one thing. Knowing how much of a mortgage payment you can handle is quite another.

Too often, dreams and reality collide in an anxiety-producing mess. You yearn for a comfortable four-bedroom Colonial, but given your income and credit card debt, the best monthly loan payment you can manage would get you a two-bedroom bungalow in a sketchy party of town.

So how do you pinpoint a house where your monthly mortgage payment makes sense and won’t drive you deep into debt? Allow us to help you paint your payment profile picture and find that magic number.

How much home can you afford? Knowing you want to buy a home is one thing; knowing what you can pay for is quite another.

You put your signature on the closing paperwork. You’re happy with your loan … well, as happy as you can be, considering the magnitude of the debt you just accepted.

Moving can be a pain in the you-know-what. That’s why we’ll share some expert tips and tricks to make the process as easy and pain-free possible.

If you’re in the market for a home but are discouraged by the current high mortgage rates, you’ve probably heard the advice “buy now and refinance later”—maybe from your mortgage lender, real estate agent, or a well-meaning friend.

This seemingly simple solution might empower you to stretch your budget now, with the plan to refinance when mortgage rates drop.

But is “buy now, refinance later” the win-win it’s cracked up to be?

We take a look at this homebuying strategy from all angles and explore the ways in which it could help—or hurt—buyers down the line.

Most homebuyers understand the perils of making a financial misstep like buying more house than they can afford or ending up with a money pit that requires unexpected, big-budget repairs. After all, buying a home is likely the most important financial decision you’ll ever make, and you want to walk away from the process feeling like you made a good deal.

But there’s one less obvious move many homebuyers are tempted to make that real estate agents far and wide would strongly advise against: submitting a lowball offer for the heck of it.

“It’s so common for buyers to see what the sellers paid themselves, realize the seller didn’t put money into making improvements, and decide that they should pay less,” says Ann Robertson, a licensed real estate agent at Barley and Barley in Washington, DC. “But an increase from what a house cost when it was last purchased and what it is on the market for now is not a 1-to-1 comparison. A lot happens in the market and in the economy that affects prices.”

It's tempting to try to bargain your way into that gorgeous million-dollar house, but experts caution homebuyers against making this big mistake.

You hit the jackpot and found a home with everything you want. And bonus—it backs up to vacant land!

A little more privacy is very inviting, but you might want to pump the brakes before making an offer. While buying a house next to vacant land seems like a good thing at first blush, think about this: What if, years from now, someone decides to build a monstrous 24/7 storage unit or a gas station there?

That’s right. You lose your private oasis, and it could also impact your resale value.

Before you make an offer on a home next to vacant land, here are some tips to determine what might become of that empty lot.

Wondering how to improve your credit score? Sure, it’s easy to fall in love with the idea of buying a home. You’ve got it all planned out: a five-bedroom home in your favorite neighborhood with a manicured lawn and a nice pool.

But if you’re going to get a mortgage (and let’s face it, most homebuyers do), you’ll likely need to improve your credit score, also called a FICO score—a simplified calculation of your history of paying back debts and making regular payments on loans. If you’re borrowing money to buy a home, lenders want to know you’ll pay them back in a timely manner, and a credit score is an easy estimate of those odds.

Here’s your crash course on this all-important little number, and how to whip it into the best home-buying shape possible.

Are you a first-time home buyer wondering how to improve your credit score? If you need a mortgage, a good FICO score is crucial—and something you control.

If you’re gearing up to buy a home, there’s a bitter pill you’ll have to be prepared to swallow. You don’t just have to pay for the house itself.

You’ll also need to open your swiftly slimming wallet for a myriad of costs, fees, and taxes—the infamous closing costs. They encompass a wide variety of fees that average between 2% to 7% of your home’s purchase price. So for the purchase of a $400,000 home, your closing costs could add up to anywhere from $8,000 to $28,000. As we said, be prepared.

After the stress of house hunting and the anxiety of the offer, you might feel like you can’t handle yet another hurdle. But closing costs are an inevitable (and unavoidable) part of the purchase process. Happily, there’s often wiggle room—at least on the costs that could be covered by the seller. Learn about what goes into your closing costs—and, even more important, how to whittle them down to size.

Closing costs are the array of fees entailed with the purchase of your home. Here's what to watch out for with your closing costs.
