You've probably wondered many times if you can afford to buy a home. Did you know that continuing to make rental payments may be more expensive in the long-run? When you make rental payments, the money is gone forever. When you make mortgage payments, however, you build equity in your home. The longer you own your own home, the larger your equity becomes. Your home may also appreciate in value, usually at a rate faster than the rate of inflation. In addition, property taxes and mortgage interest paid on your personal residence are usually 100% tax deductible. There are numerous advantages to owning a home. Here are some things to consider when buying your first home.
Obtain Your Credit Report
Get a copy of your credit report from the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax,Trans Union) and review the information. Most lenders will get a credit report for you and review it with you as part of their pre-approval process. The sooner you do this the better. If your credit report contain items which need correcting, it's easier to attend to them well before you make an offer. Don't assume you can't buy a home because your credit isn't perfect. There are numerous lenders and loan programs designed for people with less-than-perfect credit. Contact several lenders to discuss your options. In the unlikely event you don't qualify for a loan, determine what steps to take to improve your credit standing and qualify in the future.
Determine How Much Home You Can Afford
Maggie McFarland can give you a list of Mortgage Companie they can help with this process. Also, many web sites offer calculators that help you determine how much home you can afford. A good calculator will give you a range of affordability. Many of these calculators use standard debt ratios of 28/36. This means that your housing payments cannot exceed 28 percent of your gross income and that your total debt cannot exceed 36 percent of your gross income. However, there are a wide range of programs. Depending on your assets, credit history and earning potential, you may be able to qualify for more than what the standard debt ratio calculations would indicate. Contact a lender to determine of how much you can afford.
Understand The Cost Of Home Ownership
In addition to your mortgage payment, you will also pay for property taxes and home owners insurance. In Pearland the tax rate is different for many of the subdivisions. If you buy a condominium or townhouse you'll likely pay a monthly homeowner's association fee. It is important that you understand the full cost of owning a home in addition to the tax benefits. Many real estate agents and lenders can help you analyze the cost of owning a home. You may also want to consult with an accountant or a financial planner to determine how purchasing a home will help meet your financial goals.
Determine How Much Money You Will Need
Most loan programs require cash to pay for the down payment and closing costs. In today's market most lenders offer a variety of programs and down payment options. Even if you have less-than-perfect credit, you may be able to buy a home with a limited down payment. Many home buyers mistakenly assume they need to save 10 or 20 percent the purchase price before they can buy a home.
Determine How Long Your Pearland Home Will Meet Your Needs
What home features do you require today? When and in what way might your requirements change? Will you have a larger or smaller family in the near future? Will you some day need a home-office or work area? A two-bedroom home, for example, may serve the needs of a couple, but may not be roomy enough for a growing family. What will be required to convert the garage into additional work or living space? Consider how your needs may change before you buy.

"30-year fixed-rate mortgage rates caught up to the recent rise in long-term bond yields this week to reach a 25-week high," said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist." And the slowdown in the housing market has ...
Loan Programs for Pearland Home Buyers
30-Year Fixed-Rate Mortgage The 30-year fixed is one of the most popular loans. Many people like the fixed interest rate and lower monthly payments. But since the term of the loan is long, you'll pay more interest over the life of the loan.
15-Year Fixed-Rate Mortgage† You generally pay a lower interest rate with a 15-year loan. You will pay less interest than you would with a longer-term loan and build equity quickly. Your payments will be higher than those on a 30-year mortgage.
5/1 Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)† This loan has a fixed rate for the first 5 years and a rate that changes once each year for the remaining life of the loan. Because the interest rate can change after the first 5 years, the monthly payment will increase if rates go up and will be reduced if rates fall.
Interest-only loans This loan has an initial time frame in which only interest is paid, followed by a period of time in which the payment goes up in order to pay down the loan's balance. This is different than traditional mortgages, where the payment consists of principal and interest for the life of the loan. Use the savings from the lower initial payments for other immediate needs, keeping in mind that payments will increase in the future.
