Tips for Home Buying

When buying your first home, there are many aspects to consider.  For example, downpayment, location, transportation routes and whether or not to buy a condo or a freehold property. 

Furthermore, the excitement can be overwhelming if you don’t do your homework to ensure that your new home will fit your lifestyle.
Here are few points of interest to help new homebuyers through the process. For more information, please visit our website. MyDaddyHomes
1)      Determine how much you can afford.
a.     Speak with a financial representative either a mortgage broker or your local bank mortgage specialist. They will help you determine how much money you can comfortably afford.  Please remember that you have to qualify on the fixed mortgage.
2)      Choosing the type of home
a.     The home in which you will eventually live may depend upon your lifestyle. For example, living in the suburbs or living in the downtown core. Do your diligence, through local papers, magazines, website, family and friends. 

3)        Speak with a Real Estate Professional
a.     A Realtor has experience in the daily activities of looking for properties, offer reviewing & presentations, negotiating, and other activities.  Expert advice is needed because this purchase will be one of your largest in your lifetime. 

4)       Speak with a Real Estate Lawyer
a.     A real estate lawyer is of the utmost importance in this type of transaction.  They will review the offer and inform you about any issues regarding title of the property.  Lastly, towards the end of the transaction he/she will determine how much funds you require to close the deal.

5)      Enjoy the experience
a.   As the first time home buyer, enjoying the experience of home ownership is an experience that has to be felt. Work alongside your Realtor, inform them about everything you are looking for. The more information they have the better off for both parties.
