The San Antonio Home Buyer’s Cardinal Rule
Posted by Randy Kelley on January 24, 2009
First and foremost, here’s the cardinal rule that home buyers should always keep in mind.
DON’T START YOUR SEARCH WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD.
Sounds logical, doesn’t it, but a surprising number of buyers waste time and effort looking at houses they can’t afford. Now, if you’re wealthy enough to make a cash purchase, just make sure your money is liquid enough to bring to the closing table. But, if you’ll need a mortgage loan to seal the deal, don’t hesitate to consult with one or more lenders before starting your home quest. Mortgage loan officers want your business and, usually without charge, will happily help you determine your purchasing power based on your available assets, income to debt ratio, and credit history. So, don’t be afraid to talk with at least one lender before seriously shopping for a home.
