Homeownership: Saving and Preparing for Your First House

Your Path to Homeownership

Dreaming of your own home? Let's start the journey to turn that dream into reality!

Budget Wisely

Determine what you can afford. Consider mortgage, taxes, insurance, and maintenance.

Down Payment Goal

Start saving for the down payment. Aim for 20% to avoid PMI and get better loan terms.

Credit Score Matter

A better credit score can secure you a lower interest rate. Pay debts on time and keep balances low.

Mortgage Shopping

Shop around for the best mortgage rates and terms. Consider different types of loans.

Extra Expense

Remember to budget for closing costs, moving expenses, and emergency home repairs.

Inspect Before You Buy

Never skip the home inspection. It can save you from costly surprises later.

Be Patient

Home buying is a process. Stay patient and don't rush into decisions.
