HOW TO

Prepare to Buy a Home 4

Talk to mortgage brokers.

Many first-time home buyers don’t take the time to get prequalified. They also often don’t take the time to shop around to find the best mortgage for their particular situation. It’s important to ask plenty of questions and make sure you understand the home loan process completely.

Be ready to move.

This is especially true in markets with a low inventory of homes for sale. It’s very common for home buyers to miss out on the first home they wish to purchase because they don’t act quickly enough.

By the time they’ve made their decision, they may find that someone else has already purchased the house.

Find a trusted partner.

It’s absolutely vital that you find a real estate professional who understands your goals and who is ready and able to guide you through the home buying process.

Make a good offer.

Remember that your offer is very unlikely to be the only one on the table. Do what you can to ensure it’s appealing to a seller.

Factor maintenance and repair costs into your buying budget.

Even brand-new homes will require some work. Don’t leave yourself short and let your home deteriorate.

Think ahead.

It’s easy to get wrapped up in your present needs, but you should also think about reselling the home before you buy.

The average first-time buyer expects to stay in a home for around 10 years, according to the National Association of REALTORS®’ 2013 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers.

Develop your home/neighborhood wish list.

Prioritize these items from most important to least.

Select where you want to live.

Compile a list of three or four neighborhoods you’d like to live in, taking into account nearby schools, recreational facilities, area expansion plans, and safety.

THIS MONTH:

HOW TO BUY A HOME Brokers Jeff & Heather Buchanan Answer Your Real Estate Questions If your credit score is less than ideal and is preventing you from buying a home, don’t give up. There are some things you can do to get approved for a home loan even if your finances have hit some bumps in the road. We spoke with Tyler McCaffety, a mortgage lender with K&G Capital Mortgage with offices in Lufkin, Huntsville, Conroe, and Houston. He says there are often a few simple things you can do that can make the difference between throwing your money away on rent or becoming a homeowner.

1. Check Your Credit Report

You want to take a detailed look at everything on the report and make sure there are no mistakes. Tyler says creditors sometimes fail to mark the account paid even when you have paid it in full. He also says that oftentimes medical bills end up on a report that his clients never even knew existed. This is because medical procedures usually result in multiple bills from various practitioners, and it’s not uncommon for one or more of those bills to be sent to the wrong address and then go to collections when they remain unpaid.

2. Obtain a Deletion Letter

If you discover a mistake or a debt for which you never received a bill on your credit report, you want to take steps to get those taken off as soon as possible. Tyler says that the best way to achieve that is to contact the creditor and ask for proof that the invoices were sent to you. If they cannot prove they sent you the bill or that you received it, Tyler says the fair credit laws require them to remove that debt from your record. He says when you call the creditor, you want to ask for a “Letter of Deletion,” which literally deletes it from your credit report. But beware—Tyler warns that creditors will often offer to add “Paid In Full” on the account, but that doesn’t help your credit score. He says you want to be insistent that they give you a letter of deletion so that it will vanish from your report and boost your score.

Thanks to this month’s expert!

With Less Than Perfect Credit

3. Improve Credit Management Another common and easily fixed issue Tyler sees is the mismanagement of credit. He says that many people don’t realize that carrying a balance of 50% or more of your credit limit lowers your score. He also says it’s important to know what day the creditor checks your balance—which is usually NOT the date your bill is due. For the highest credit score boost, you want to make sure your balance is between 1-10% of your credit limit on the day it is checked each month. Your credit score could rise dramatically with that one change.

4. Chart A Long Term Plan If the issues with your credit are more involved than a mistake or paying a different amount on a different day, Tyler says you need a long term plan of action. He often works with clients to chart out a course that will lead them to mortgage approval. He says he is able to advise them on a case by case basis on exactly what to do to repair their credit enough to get approved for a home loan. He meets with them and checks their progress by pulling their credit report every 4 months to verify that their score is improving. He emphasizes that during any credit repair (and when you apply for a mortgage) you should never make any big purchases or apply for other credit. This could greatly jeopardize your ability to get approved for a home loan.

Tyler’s mission is to help as many people as possible achieve the American Dream of homeownership. If you need help qualifying for a loan, Tyler would be glad to help you and can be reached at (936) 6617618.
