For buyers and sellers it is the time to reassess your plans and gear towards the success of your goals. Here are some important things you should take into consideration to help you achieve your goals and make the most out of this fresh start:
For Buyers:
Save Money!
I cannot emphasize more on how important it is to save money, especially if you are planning to buy a house. Make sure you have saved enough money for the down payment and the earnest money. Also, resist the urge to buy bi purchases when preparing to buy a home. You may never know when you would need that extra cash in the long run.
Check you credit score and improve it if necessary.
This one is a must before considering to buy a house. It will be your guide on what kind of loans you can qualify for. Make sure that your reports are accurate and that there are no errors. If there are some mistakes, do the necessary action to have it removed. If your score is a bit low, you will need a bit more time to improve the score.
