Hello everybody, welcome back to Suburban Snacks! This month’s snack is Peanut Brittle! Before we review the snack, we’ll be informing you on what the first step is when buying a home. Now the first thing you need to know before buying a home is how much home can you actually afford. For the average person you are going to have a max amount of purchase price that you can qualify for. So, who tells you how much you’re able to afford? That would be a lender. A lender is someone who can get you as a homebuyer financing. Lenders will need to see certain documents from you such as tax returns, paystubs, bank statements and more. This documentation will give the lender everything they need to calculate your purchasing power. Something we encourage you to do is to shop around for different lenders. Each lender varies and may have different programs they offer vs other lenders. You may be able to borrow at a cheaper rate or get access to a better program just by shopping around for the best financing that fits your budget. If you don’t know where to find lenders, then ask your family, friends, or realtor on who they recommend. Now, why do we as Realtors encourage our clients to get their financing in order before we look at homes? The reason that we do this is because we don’t want to waste your time. If we were to go view homes that at the end of the day you couldn’t afford, that’d be a waste of your time. Also, you may get your hopes up for a home that you might not yet be able to buy. And that would be extremely disappointing. So, if you are someone looking to invest in your first home or sell your current home in Southern Arizona, then we at Suburban would love to help!
