Welcome back! You must be a seriously dedicated home buyer. I predict you will do very well.
Are You Looking to Buy a House Any Time Soon?
In this economy, there are some good deals out there that are just waiting for you to pick them up!
Whether you’re looking to buy a home to live in or to buy an investment home,
there’s really no better time to buy than right now.
Why? Because interest rates are low, inventory (the number of houses on the market for sale)
is high, and it looks like banks are timidly stepping back in to the lending waters again.
Not only that, but homeowners are tired of waiting for their houses to sell,
and there are still far too few people making offers.
All that adds up to be a buyer’s market. A.K.A. a GOOD time to Buy a house!
But before you get all high & mighty, let me tell you that this market is not going to last forever.
What? Did you think it would?
Yeah, so did all those speculators who continued to buy houses in 2007 & 2008.
I bet they wish they could go back in time & do some things differently!
So the basic idea here is: Get Going! Get out there & look at some houses.
Make some offers! Get your feet wet!
It doesn’t matter if this is your first house or your hundredth.
Opportunity will not continue to knock at your door all day long.
So how do you get started? Well, that’s simple.
If you’re just starting out, you should first find the right people who are qualified to help you
and enlist their aid. Unless you’re a seasoned veteran, you shouldn’t do this by yourself.
Shoot, even if you ARE a seasoned veteran, you shouldn’t do it all by yourself!
First, take a look at your assets. Ask yourself (and be honest with the answer):
Do you have good credit? These days, a good credit score is really anything over a 680-700 FICO Score.
If your credit sucks, get help. Get help to Boost your Credit Rating Now!
Do you have any money saved? For most houses, you’ll need to put up some money -
they have these things called ‘costs’ attached to them, you know!
Things like a downpayment, closing costs, and some other surprises can come up &
slap you in the face like a ton-o-bricks.
So it will help if you have at least a few thousand dollars set aside for these incidentals.
Now, if you don’t have either money OR credit, don’t worry!
There are some resources on this website that will show you how to buy a house
even if you don’t have two nickels to rub together & you just got out of bankruptcy
yesterday! So poke around here & check some things out for yourself.
An incredible, you still relatively unknown to the average person way to buy a house is
to deal with a real estate investor – someone who buys & sells houses for a living.
These people are able to sell you a house using a wonderful way
called either a “Lease Option/Purchase” (aka ‘rent-to-own’) or by Seller Financing.
What this means to you is that you can buy or move in to a great home in a desirable neighborhood now!
You won’t have to wait. And depending on the arrangement you made to buy the house,
it’s either officially yours or it will be soon.
You can move in now, with a reasonable down payment & work on getting your credit fixed up.
What could be better than that?
So check that out a bit more. There are some more links on this site to help you.
I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this article.
I’ve enjoyed writing it for you!
Until next time,
