What should I know before buying a home?

Here are some tips that could save you a lot of time, money and trouble.

  • Plan ahead.
    Establish good credit and save as much as you can for the down payment and closing costs.

  • Keep your day job.
    If there's a career move in your future, make the move after your loan is funded. Lenders tend to favor a stable employment history.

  • Know what you really want in a home.
    How long will you live there? Is your family growing? What are the schools like? How long is your commute? Consider every angle.

  • Choose your loan (and your lender) carefully.
    For some tips, see the question in this section about comparing loans.

  • Consult with your lender before paying off debts.
    You may qualify even with your existing debt, especially if it frees up more cash for a down payment.

  • Don't shift money around.
    A lender needs to verify all sources of funds. By leaving everything where it is, the process is a lot easier on everyone involved.

  • Don't add to your debt.
    If you increase your debt by financing a new car, boat, furniture or other large purchase, it could prevent you from qualifying.

  • Timing is everything.
    If you already own a home, you may need to sell your current home to qualify for a new one. If you're renting, simply time the move to the end of the lease.
