However, before purchasing, consider these factors to help with the decision-making process.

• If you are a renter, there are available financing options that may reduce payments to fit your mortgage budget.
• Don’t let the fear of “down payment” stop you from buying a home. Though this fear is typical of first-time buyers, it should not prevent you from seeking expert real estate counsel. Take the leap and connect with a real estate professional, affordable housing is attainable.
• Many mortgage lenders will accept a less than perfect credit score. It should be at least 580 to be eligible for a traditional mortgage.
• For a first-time home purchase, consider buying a starter home. Starter homes are smaller more affordable homes. An important note to this option is that you must invest in your starter home. Through regular house maintenance and simple upgrades, you will increase the value of your property. When you decide to sell, you will receive the best return for your investment for the larger home you’ve always wanted.
• Purchasing a home doesn’t need to be hard. It’s simple, if you find professional agents that will help you every step of the way, the process will be much easier.
