Save up money for closing costs and a down payment if you want to make one. |

go to a mortgage company and get a pre-qualification letter(it tells you your credit and how much they will allow you to borrow)...then seek out a professional and honest real estate agent who listens to your needs(be weary of those who only want to show you their own listings, or who show you only homes at the higher end of your budget)....also, make a list of desirable things that you want in a home and give it to your agent...he/she will be able to narrow the choices down for you before you even go to look at homes...it could save you many hours of time! |

Check out your credit rating first thing. |

The first step is to see if you can qualify for a mortgage, unless you are paying cash this is irrelevant. You must know if & how much you can shop for. There are literally hundres of loan programs out there for first time home buyers & no credit, etc. |

You have to research not only the loan program that your might be interested in going into, but also the locations that your looking to live at. Being a first time home buyer, your going to want to research as much as possible about the loan programs and weight the pros and cons for each one. You also have to determine how long you plan on living at that location and what you plan on doing after that time frame. Doesn't make since paying 6.250% for a 30yr fixed mortgage if you plan on living there for 3-7 years where the interest rate for a 3-5-7 year arm would save you money. So you have a lot of questions that need to be answered for yourself. Just jumping in can cost you money in the short/long term that might not be recoverable to you. |

check your credit score and report,a job with two years history,or some cash for down payment. you only need 2 out of 3 of these |

step 1. contact a lender and see what type of loan you qualify for. this should not cost you anything and should not obligate you to anything.
step 2. contact a realtor and have them find you a home that will fit into your budget and be a home that you like. this too should not cost you anything.
