First of all, congratulations! Second, good luck! Now, hopefully luck will not have to enter into the equation as good planning and proper preparation can help to smoothe out the whole process and assist in avoiding the traditional pitfalls of home buying. When purchasing something as big as a home there is definitely the potential to put your neck on the line, and many buyers do. The unfortunate part is that this is really not necessary.

Before you begin buying a home; however, there are ten critical factors that should be taken into consideration. First, if you have not already established a budget, now is the time do so. You can establish a budget by writing down how much income you receive within a one month time period as well as all the expenses you have during that time. Be sure to write down all of your expenses and do not leave anything out. Take a careful look at everything to be sure that your expenses are not actually exceeding your income. If that is the case, it's time to take a look at areas where you can cut down. You also need to take a look at creating a sample of what your budget will look like after you have purchased a home. Keep in mind that your expenses will change as you become a home owner. You will become responsible for expenses that you do not have to worry about now such as homeowner's insurance, maintenance and repairs, property taxes, lawn equipment, homeowner association fees and possibly higher utility bills. ...

Sitting down and writing the offer is not always as much fun! For many people, the process of buying a home is something they go through only once or twice in a lifetime. New terms and questions come are the norm as the purchase agreement is prepared. As a Realtor in the northeast Twin Cities metro, whether I am working with first time buyers, move-up buyers or empty-nesters, one question always stops the process for a moment of discussion. How much earnest money are you prepared to offer? The amount of the earnest money varies with each purchase agreement. A buyer must first understand the purpose of the earnest money to determine the right amount to include with the offer. Earnest money is the funds that a buyer puts down to demonstrate to the seller their seriousness about buying a home. It should be an amount sufficient enough to indicate to the seller that the buyer will not walk away from the deal without good reason. In Minnesota this is traditionally 1% of the purchase price but it can be up more. A lower amount can also be acceptable with some offers. However it is important to be realistic. ...

You'd be amazed at how easy it is to buy beautiful beach properties all around the world. Perhaps you have looked at buying Panama real estate that overlooks beautiful waters and features sandy beaches? If so, you aren't alone. Before you buy you should do some research and see where and when would be the best time for you to invest. Any time you buy on a beach there are certain risks as well as certain benefits, and you have to weigh these carefully. The benefit of buying something such as Bocas real estate is that it is an investment that will likely payoff. This means that if you invest in the property you will likely be able to sell it at a profit in very little time. Or, you can keep it for as long as you want for personal or other use and still be able to sell it at a profit. There is only so much beach property out there, which makes it desired by many but acquired by few. If you invest in the property there is a very good chance that you will have a buyer as soon as you want to sell it. ...

Landlords will often argue the benefits of renting, and for obvious reason. If you are renting, you are helping them make their mortgage payment. The numbers are staggering if you look at it this way. If you are paying $1,000 per month for an apartment, and you know your rent will increase 5% every year, then over the next five years you will pay your landlord $66,309. If you are currently renting a house, you may be paying much more than that each month. Either way, you gain no equity by shelling out this monthly housing expense and you certainly will not benefit when the property value goes up! However, if you were to purchase your own home or condominium, you would be well on your way toward building equity within that same five-year period. By choosing a fixed-rate loan program, you can have the comfort of knowing that your monthly mortgage payment will never go up.
