Tips on how to buy your first home-8 simple steps

Date

Share this article

Many times as a Mortgage Loan officer, I’m asked how to qualify for a home loan – especially for first time home buyers. The costs for homes have increased by 20-30% in many markets. So I’ve broken down 8 simple steps to qualify for your 1st home loan.

8 Simple Steps for your Home loan

  1. Check your credit score and work to improve it if necessary. A good credit score is typically required to qualify for a home loan.
  2. Save for a down payment. Most lenders require a down payment of at least 3% to 5% of the purchase price.
  3. Gather required documentation, such as pay stubs, tax returns, and bank statements.
  4. Call me at 480-773-0714 to apply for a loan. Be prepared to provide documentation of your income, employment, and assets.
  5. Get pre-approved for a loan. This will give you an idea of how much you can borrow and can help you when you start looking for a home.
  6. Find a real estate agent and start looking for a home. Remember to stay within your budget and keep in mind that you will need to pay closing costs in addition to the down payment.
  7. Once you find a home, submit an offer and if it accepted, go through the underwriting process, during this process the lender will verify your income, credit, and assets and will also appraise the property to ensure the value of the home is equal to or greater than the loan amount.
  8. Close on the loan and move into your new home.
