What's Your
Wish-List
? Knowing what you're looking for will help you focus your search. - Mortgage Programs: Many different kinds of mortgages are available to you. Learn about them, and make sure you understand the pros and cons of each.
- Home Inspections: When you make an offer on a home, it's a good idea to make your offer contingent on a home inspection, conducted by an independent authorized inspector.
- Appraisals: Your lender will require you to get an appraisal of the house you want to buy, to ensure it's worth the money that you'll be borrowing.
- Home Owner's Insurance: Lenders require that you have homeowners insurance, to protect both your interests and theirs. Depending on the amount of your downpayment, you may also be required to purchase Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
- At the closing: Be sure to read and understand everything BEFORE you sign.
