Buying vs. Renting

Buying

  • Your monthly mortgage is locked in for the length of your home loan.
  • As home prices rise and as you pay down your loan, you build equity on your home.
  • As you build equity, your net worth rises!

Renting

  • Your monthly payment likely increases each time you sign or renew a lease.
  • You won't get any return on your investment as you pay your monthly rent.
  • As rent increases, saving for a home becomes more difficult.

What is a Pre-Approval?

What Is a Pre-Approval?

According to Freddie Mac, "A pre-approval is an indication from your lender that they are willing to lend you a certain amount to buy your future home."

Basically, a pre-approval will let you know exactly how much you may be able to borrow for your purchase.

How Does a Pre-Approval Work?

As part of the home-buying process, your lender will take a look at your finances to determine what they will be willing to loan you. From there, they will send you a pre-approval letter. With this letter, you have a better idea of the price range you need to be looking for homes in, as well as giving you an advantage in the current market!

What to Avoid After Applying for a Mortgage

  • Don't change bank accounts.
  • Don't apply for new credit cards or close any accounts.
  • Don't deposit cash into your bank account without speaking to your lender or bank.
  • Don't co-sign any loans for someone else.
  • Don't make any large purchases like a car.

The best plan is to speak with your lender before doing anything financial!
