Home Buying Question - Where Do I Begin?

So let's assume you've answered the previous home buying question (Am I ready to buy?) with a resounding "Yes." So now what? You're ready to buy a home, but where do you get started?

A home buying profile is a great place to start. This is simply a list of home buying criteria to help you narrow your home search. Whether you work with a real estate agent (recommended) or decide to go it alone, a home buying profile will be a big help.

Here are some of the items to put on your home buying profile:

1. Target monthly mortgage.
2. Maximum price range.
3. Number of rooms needed.
4. Neighborhood or part of town (first priority).
5. Neighborhood or part of town (second priority).
6. Type of house desired.

Obviously, these are just some of the basics. But if you can fill in the blanks for each of these items, you'll be off to a good start. And don't worry ... we will fill in more of the blanks as we continue in this blog series of home buying questions.
