Preparing and Planning to Buy Your First Home

The path from here to homeownership involves three steps: preparing, planning, and purchasing.

Preparing primarily involves acquiring all necessary information. You do this by sitting down and speaking with a residential mortgage lender that you trust. Just approaching them, explaining that you want to buy a house, and giving them all your information will help them assess when you can buy.

Devising a plan of action can go many ways. This might involve saving for a down payment, working to improve your credit score, paying off debt, or addressing any number of other procedural requirements. Again, conferring with a lender to formulate this plan will help immensely. It sounds strenuous, but in most cases, it just takes a little time.
