Buying Your First Home Purchase can be both exciting and stressful, especially if you are a first time home buyer.  Those who are Buying Your First Home Purchase should take their time and do the proper due diligence in choosing their new home.

  • The most important factor in home shopping is whether they can afford it
  • I would first consult with a lender to see what the buyer will qualify for and what the monthly housing payment will be
  • See if a home buyer will be able to afford  new proposed mortgage payments and housing expenses without straining themselves
  • Remember that monthly mortgage payment is not only housing payment

The new homeowner will have the following expenses:

  • Property taxes
  • Homeowners insurance
  • Mortgage insurance premium
  • Homeowners association dues (if applicable)
  • Utility payments such as water, gas, and electric
  • Other expenses such as cable, and internet connection.

All of these add up and then some.

Remember that as a homeowner and that they can no longer rely on a landlord for repairs.

Reserves

When Buying Your First Home Purchase, one of the most important things the new homeowners need to consider and have is reserves.

  • Reserves will be required in the event of major repairs
  • Mortgage lenders do not require cash reserves for first time home buyers if they have good credit and income

But I strongly recommend that first time home buyers have at least 3-month reserves of housing expenses in the event of unexpected events.

Case Scenario Of Needing Reserves

For example, we recently had a major deep freeze in the Midwest where temperatures tanked to 30 plus below zero:

  • Many homeowners had their furnace break down and plumbing problems. 
  • These type of problems are high ticket cost repairs
  • Most of these repair vendors do not make monthly payments or offer a payment plan
  • Appliances break down all the time
  • As a homeowner, they will get unexpected problems that might cost a lot of money. 
  • I strongly advise that as a first time home buyer, they have several months of reserves

This holds true even though the mortgage lender does not require it.

Hiring A Real Estate Agent When Buying Your First Home Purchase

Hiring a professional real estate agent when Buying Your First Home Purchase is strongly recommended. Whether Buying Your First Home Purchase or selling an existing home, the advice of a realtor is not required by is worth its weight in gold.

  • A realtor will assist clients in searching the right home
  • Real Estate Agents know the neighborhood as well as refer clients to reputable lenders and attorneys 
  • A realtor will assist their clients and protect their best interests
  • A realtor can get buyers a sellers concession towards closing costs so buyers do not have to come up with any closing costs

All buyers need to worry about is down payment on a home purchase.
