How buying works
Check your credit, work out your debt-to-income ratio and settle on a real number before you start looking.
A lender reviews your finances and issues a pre-approval letter. It sets your budget and tells sellers you are serious.
Someone with local experience and a track record. They should find you the right homes, negotiate for you and steer the closing.
Watch the condition, the layout and anything that will need repair. Pay as much attention to the neighborhood as the house.
Price it against comparable sales and current conditions. Expect a counter, and know your ceiling before you start.
The inspection surfaces problems; the lender orders the appraisal. If either comes back badly, you renegotiate or you walk.
Sign the final paperwork, pay remaining closing costs, and take the keys. The home is yours.
