“A home is an investment. When you rent, you write your monthly check and that money is gone forever. But when

you own your home, you can deduct the cost of your mortgage loan interest from your federal income taxes,

and usually from your state taxes.

This will save you a lot each year, because the interest you pay will make up most of your monthly payment for most of the years of your mortgage. In addition, the value of

your home may go up over the years. Finally, you’ll enjoy having something that's all yours—a home where your

own personal style will tell the world who you are.”

How much can you afford?Debt-to-Income Ratio—the lower the better:

It shouldn’t exceed 36%How to calculate your debt-to-income ratio:

Calculate your total monthly income: Include wages, overtime, guaranteed commissions/bonuses, alimonyIf income varies, calculate average based on last two years

Add up your monthly debt payments: Include credit cards, car loans, student loans, mortgage payments

Divide monthly debt payments by total monthly income—This is your debt-to-income ratio

$2,000.00 (total monthly debt)

÷ $6,000.00 (total monthly income)

------------0.33 or 33%

Mortgage Shopping“Shopping around for a home loan

or mortgage will help you to get the best financing deal. A

mortgage—whether it’s a home purchase, a refinance,

or a home equity loan—is a product, just like a car, so the price and terms

may be negotiable. You’ll want to compare all the costs involved in

obtaining a mortgage. Shopping, comparing, and

negotiating may save you thousands of dollars.”

Pre-ApprovalOnce you’ve found a mortgage company you’re comfortable with, get pre-approved

This essentially gives you a budget for your house

“Getting pre-approved will you save yourself the grief of looking at houses you can’t afford and put you in a better position to

make a serious offer when you do find the right house. Not to be confused with pre-qualification, which is based

on a cursory review of your finances, pre-approval from a lender is based on your actual income, debt, and credit history.”
