The FIRST Step You Need To Take To Buy A Home
Are you planning on buying a home this year? Do you know the first step you need to take to show homeowners that you are serious about buying is that of getting pre-approved for a mortgage before you do anything else? Getting pre-approved is one of the very first critical steps that will show home sellers you are serious about buying and capable to do so. And it often helps speed up the process once your offer has been accepted. Besides, understanding your budget up-front will give you the confidence of knowing whether or not your dream home is within your reach.
“4 C’s” That Determine Your Borrowing Power
Wondering what goes into a decision to be pre-approved for a mortgage? Freddie Mac describes the “4 Cs” that help determine the amount you will be qualified to borrow:
- Capacity: Your current and future ability to make your payments
- Capital or cash reserves: The money, savings, and investments you have that can be sold quickly for cash
- Collateral: The home, or type of home, that you would like to purchase
- Credit: Your history of paying bills and other debts on time
