 Are you sure you want to buy a house?  Do you have steady income and steady employment?  Do you anticipate remaining in the same location for the next several years?  Have you created a budget so you know how much you can realistically afford to pay for housing? 18

 Do you have established credit?  Can you build a non-traditional credit history with records of payments to landlords and utility companies?  Do you have enough money saved up for a down payment and closing costs?  Have you “pre-qualified” yourself? 19

 Have you been pre-qualified by a lender, real estate professional, or counselor to determine how much you can borrow based on existing income and debt?  Is your existing debt low enough to qualify for a mortgage? 20

 Have you looked into the benefits and requirements of mortgages available to home buyers of your income level? 21

 Place of your own  Feeling of permanence  Financial incentives ◦ Insurance bundling ◦ Equity? 22

 Build equity — your wealth will increase as you gain more home equity  Gain tax advantages — mortgage interest is tax deductible as per IRS code  Stabilize your payments — monthly payments are relatively steady if your loan has a fixed interest rate, while your landlord can increase the rent  Have a secure place for your family to live — a home provides a permanent place where your family can live and grow, and you can decorate or expand a house the way you like to create your dream home  Gain a sense of community — homeowners often are more involved in the well-being of their communities; many homeowners work together for better schools and less crime 23

 Maintenance costs — it takes work and money to keep a home in good condition  Ties up your cash — selling the house may not be possible during the first few years of ownership; moving is more difficult and complicated and you may not have as much flexibility in choosing a new job location  Can fluctuate in value — there is no guarantee that your home will increase in value; it could decrease in value  Obligates your finances — when you buy a home, you are obligated to a set monthly payment 24

25 11 Tips On Being A Smart Home Purchaser 1. Attend a homeownership education course 2. Interview agents and ask for and check references before you select one 3. Get information about the prices of other homes in the neighborhood 4. Hire a properly qualified and licensed home inspector 25

5. Shop for a lender and compare costs 6. Do NOT let anyone persuade you to make a false statement on your loan application. Lying on a mortgage application is fraud and may result in criminal penalties. 7. Do NOT let anyone convince you to borrow more money than you know you can afford to repay. 26

8. Never sign a blank document or a document containing blanks 9. Read everything carefully and ask questions. Do not sign anything that you don't understand. 10. Be suspicious when the cost of a home improvement goes up if you don't accept the contractor's financing. 11. Be honest about your intention to occupy the house. 27
