Who should I talk to about advice for buying a house or condo?
Do you think Bankers would give me sound advice, are there home loan advisers. I want to own my own home, but I honestly don't know where to start.

A real estate agent is going to be the most educated about the home buying process. The problem is finding one that will have your best interest in mind (a lot of them are money motivated). We luckily had a very helpful one who was great about answering all our questions and directing us to financing resources. Just call a real estate office in your area and ask for help.

Other options would be to check with the reference desk at your local library. The library probably has a wealth of information and resources and can get you started. Also you may want to see if there are any first time home buyer education seminars in your area. My bank directed me to one in my area (it was required to get my loan). A mortgage specialist at the bank could also be very helpful.

Good luck!

Make an appointment to meet with a local mortgage banker to get pre-approved. They can educate you so that you can make informed decisions.

Stay away from the mortgage trolls on this site, all they want is the commission they can make on your loan. Those who surf for business here are violating the Community Guidelines. To me that is an ethics violation and raises serious issues about their credibility.

Good luck.

The best is a condo (low costs-expenses) with nice people.
if you have income, looks for a good opportunity that is most important
I found interesting information about your answer & the best options here.

Yes, you should speak with a lender first to see if you are pe-qualified to purchase a home. This does not take very long to do and will give you a rough estimate of what your payments will be. Then to find the perfect place use a realtor for that. When you buy a property you do not have to pay anything for the services of the realtor.

It really depends what exactly your scenario is. The amount of money you can put down, your employment, credit and other factors. Recently it has been tough for people with less than stellar credit to qualify for loans; however in the last week or so the guidelines have loosened up. You can email me at kevan517@hotmail.com if you have any more questions or with your whole scenario; I;ll be happy to help.

What info would you like to know. Send me an email with your questions.


Insensitively Honest
Talk to those who have learned from buying , a bank will talk you into a loan you can not afford , and they do not care about you , they want that money

I will say this , when you buy , put down at least 20-25% and do a 15 year fixed rate do no more than 20-25% of your net income ( bring home ) do not let them hold funds in escrow for taxes ,and insurance , and do not let them pick your insurance company

They will talk you in to a 30 year fixed , it costs you about 100 grand extra or more in interst and they make more so of course they will want you to do that ..they will tell you to go about 30-35 % of your gross income too , because the more you pay the more the more they make , and if you default they can re sell it to another person and make it all over again ...
Lenders ,and Agents do not care about you , or if you can actually afford the place , after they get your up front money , if you lose the home , they get another buyer and get the same fee's up front again , plus the payments you could not make ,
I am not an agent , I have person experience, and managed to do it my way , and I am now 38 with no house payments ,and no other debt , except for monthy expenses , such as power , water ,cable ,. etc. I owe no creditors ..I am Free ...I will offer my opinion and you can take it or not .. Just do not get caught in the credit trap , saving money builds wealth , credit builds debt..

Start by asking your friends and family who they have used and trust. Start there and sit down with a Loan Officer who does it full time, and has at least 5 years experience. You will need to complete an application and have your credit pulled so your Loan Officer can help talk through your situation and give you a game plan for moving forward. http://www.choicefinance.net/
