My top 5 recommendations if you're thinking of buying a home.
1. Get your financing in order and your loan fully underwritten before you begin your home search process. This will position you as a stronger buyer, give you peace of mind as a borrower and eliminate any unexpected surprises once you go into escrow.
2. Understand the entire financing package and the structure of the loan as well as everything that goes into the monthly payment. This is more important than chasing an interest rate
3. Consider negotiating a seller credit to buy down the interest rate versus negotiating the price of the home.
4. Make sure you have money in the bank at the close of escrow. The last thing you want is to be house rich and cash poor and have no cushion for emergencies or moving expenses.
5. Have an exit strategy. Too many people focus on acquiring the debt and don't have a plan on how to get out of it.
You want your financing package to set you up so that it meets your short-term and long-term goals, helps steer you towards financial success and allows you to build generational wealth through real estate.
