  1. 4 Common Mistakes First Time Home Buyers Must Avoid

  2. Introduction Buying your first home can be both mentally and physically exhausting. Starting from selecting the ideal location, to understanding the mortgage market to decide when to apply for a home loan, the challenges are many. As a first time homebuyer, you may be alien to a lot of nitty gritties involved in the home buying process. Though it’s advisable to hire a home loan consultant who can walk you through the process,  there are some mistakes that you can avoid on your own. we discuss four common mistakes that homebuyers make.

  3. 1.Not Researching the Home Loan Programs There are various home loan programs designed for the first-time home buyers. Talk to a loan officer and ask them about the available home loans in Texas. The Texas Mortgage Program, TMP 79 or My Texas Home Program, for instance, is one of the loans available to you if you are a Texas resident looking for a home in the city. Make sure you do a thorough research because If you don’t, chances are you may end up selecting a loan that’s too costly.

  4. 2. Splurging on a Home As a buyer, you definitely want a home that has almost all the amenities to offer, but it’s also vital to keep the costs minimal. If you haste to purchase, you may end up making an unwise decision. Usually, the lenders determine your affordability based on your credit report, but sometimes lenders offer loan larger than you can afford. While you may not mind a bigger loan at first and would splurge it on buying a bigger house, you will feel the pain once the installments start affecting your disposable income and complicate your financial goals.

  5. 3. Neglecting Home Inspection Buying a home without a thorough home inspection can be very risky as there may be some serious problems with the plumbing, wiring, foundation, or the roofing of that house. Hiring a professional for home inspection services helps identify if there are any problems. Remember, if you skip the process of home inspection, you’re the one who is solely responsible for all the issues that arise after the deal is closed, and the seller can’t be blamed for anything that goes wrong.

  6. 4. Not Consulting an Expert Most buyers rely on the advice of a friend or someone in the family when buying a home. While their experience counts and their advice matters, you cannot afford to not consult a real estate expert. An expert can help you with the information on current market trend in terms of property rates, home loan rates, and more. Consulting an expert may seem like an added cost,but chances are high that an expert will be able to help you strike a better deal.

  7. Wrapping Up Buying a house can end up to be a nerve-racking process, especially if you are a first-time home-buyer. No matter how planned your efforts are, chances are that you might miss out on a few critical points. To make the process less tedious and minimize the chances of making a big mistake, it’s advisable to hire a Texas home loan expert who can guide you through the entire process.
