  7. TIPS AND TRICKS TO SAVING MONEY WHEN BUYING A HOUSE Listed below are 5 ways to help you save money when buying a house: 1) USING A REAL ESTATE AGENT Some people choose not to get a Real Estate Agent because they think ” Why should I have to pay someone to buy me a house when I can easily do it on my own?” However, this couldn’t be further from the truth because you will actually save up a lot of those hard earned bucks using a Realtor. In fact, the truth is that you won’t be the one paying his commission; it is the seller who will. Buying a house with the help of a Realtor is going to make the process so much easier for you too. They often know the value of a house as soon as they walk in and will let you know immediately if it is overpriced or under-priced. Additionally, moving requires a lot of work. You need to be in contact with good movers, home inspectors, contractors etc. It can be really hard for you to keep up with the expenses of paying all these people and you might actually end up overpaying them. This is why Real Estate Agents are so important! They know a lot of professionals and can hook you up with them along with providing you good money saving deals. .

It us always a good idea to either ask your friends for referrals of good Realtors or look for them online on websites . like Zillow and Yelp. 2)CREDIT SCORE If you want to get lower interest rates on loans and decrease the Lender fee, make sure your credit score is high as both of these payments directly depend on your credit rating. Here iss how you can increase your credit score quickly before buying a house: •Firstly, you will need your credit report’s copy. •Next, you will need to highlight all negative accounts. •Then, dispute your credit inquiries. •Make sure to pay off your credit card balances. •The next step is to get in touch with collection agencies and ask them if they could remove the accounts that you pay off. •Do not pay those agencies which refuse to remove accounts from your credit report.

However, once you start living there, you might . actually start finding hundreds of tiny faults like toilet moulds, plumbing issues and squeaky floors. This is why it is absolutely necessary to get a good Home Inspector and have him check the place out before you place your bid on it. The Home Inspector can make a detailed review of all the flaws in the house and you can then decide to either buy a new place or negotiate a lower price for the current house. We recommend getting a house with small faults in it because they are going to be cheaper. This is because houses in perfect condition are in high demand which makes them more expensive. On the other hand, you can get a not so perfect house for a much cheaper price and pay a meager amount to get small renovations done. This will allow you to give your house a personalized touch while saving lots of bucks.

This loan too will remove the need for a down payment along with reducing mortgage insurance to 0.35 percent of the loan amount. Additionally, you should also consider paying higher monthly premiums by opting for a 15 year mortgage plan instead of a 30 year one. This will lower your interest rate and help you save thousands of dollars!

Although if you opt for a FHA loan, you will have to pay the mortgage insurance. It does not matter whether you pay 20 or more percent of the down payment since PMI is an essential for FHA. We would advise you to thoroughly check and plan out whichever of the two plans you decide to go with.
