First Time Buyer Tips For all Las Cruces Homes and Real Estate

If you have been thinking you would like to invest in real estate but haven't known where to start or if it's the right time, these tips might be able to set you in the right direction.

Now is a great time to buy, especially for first time homebuyers. And, yes, there are times when it's not such a great deal. A couple of decades ago, interest rates were in the mid teens and sometimes higher. Most home buyers just simply could not afford a home at that time.

  But with the rates being where they are now and inventory in abundance, it's truly a great time to become a homeowner.  There are a few steps in the process and doing them in the right order will help make the process go much more smoothly.

• Get your finances in order first

You will want to get a copy of your credit report and look it over carefully to make sure there are no inaccuracies.  Once you have a clear understanding of your financial situation you will want to sit down with a lender to go over these with them.

• Get a pre-approval letter

A lender will review your finances and obtain a maximum amount that your budget can afford you. Remember, this is a maximum, not a general figure. You don't want to go over that and you don't have to. You may find a great home for several thousand less than your maximum. Don't let a real estate broker push you into buying more home than you can afford. The lender will issue you a pre-approval letter to show sellers you are a serious buyer that has done their homework.
