Generally, you can afford a home equal in value to between 2 and 3 times your gross income. 2. Develop your home wish list. Then prioritize the features on your list. 3. Select where you want to live. Compile a list of 3 to 4 neighborhoods you'd like to live iin, taking into account items such as schools, recreational facilities, area expansion plans and safety. 4. START SAVING! Do you have enough money saved to qualify for a mortgage and cover your down payment? Ideally, you should have 20% of the purchase price saved as a down payment. Also, don't forget to factor in closing costs. Closing costs - including taxes, attorney's fee, and transfer fees- average between 2% and 7% of the home price. 5. Get your credit in order. Obtain a copy of your credit report to make sure it is accurate and to correct any errors immediately. A credit report provides a history of your credit, bad debts, and any late payments. 6. Determine your mortgage qualifications. How large of mortgage do you qualify? Also, explore different loan options - such as 30 year or 15 year fixed mortgages or ARMs - and decide what's best for you. 7. Get preapproved. Organize all the documentation a lender will need to preapprove you for a loan. You might need W-2 forms, copies of at lease one pay stub, account numbers, and copies of 2 to 4 months of bank or credit union statements. 8. Weigh other sources of help with a down payment. Do you qualify for any special mortgage or down payment assistance programs? Check with your state and local government on down payment assistance programs for first time buyers. Or, if you have an IRA account, you can use the money you've saved to buy your first home without paying a penalty for early withdrawal. 9. Calculate the costs of homeownership. This should include property taxes, insurance, maintenance and utilities, and association fees, if applicable. 10. Contact CAROLINA CARE RENTAL MGT & REALTY, LLC.
