Simple Steps to Buying Your First House
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009I received a very relevant question today from a young woman asking me if I had any suggestions in regards to setting an action plan to own a house one day. Her situation is that she is working in a temporary position within a company, waiting to get fulltime hours, with very little savings at the moment. Here is my response:
Oh yes I do have suggestions. This is a fun one. I love helping people buy a home because that was my biggest goal a few years ago. Beginning today, take a pen and paper and write a date for when you’d like this house. Describe what it will look like in minute detail including the location. Studies have proven that physically writing down a goal ensures a 95% higher success rate in achieving it compared to storing it in your head. Next, pick up the real estate guides to see how much it will cost. From there you have the basis of some good questions to ask such as “What will the mortgage payment be” and “How and where will you earn the money” and “Who should you talk to for help”?
