5 Simple Tips For First Time Home Buyers



You’ve decided that your first Houston home should have three bedrooms and a big yard, but what else have you thought about? 
Make a checklist and use it. Determine what features are essential to you and refer to your list when viewing properties. Your list may change, but it can be a good starting point.
Consider all expenses. When you're calculating what you can afford, be sure to factor in other expenses like taxes, insurance, commuting costs, and utilities.
Ask for the paperwork. If you’re looking at property in a homeowners association, request a copy of the HOA rules before submitting an offer to see if you’re willing to abide by them.
Research funding sources. You may qualify for home buyer-assistance programs based on your profession, income, or the property’s location.
Think about resale value. You may appreciate a home’s unique features, but will potential buyers love them when you’re ready to sell?
