TIP #1 Be Financially Prepared
Is it better to buy or to rent a home? In the long run, if you have the right information, the answer is to buy -- for the pride of ownership, equity, and tax advantages. But don't be pressured to buy. Home ownership does come with responsibilities and the important thing is to be prepared financially. Get wise counsel from experienced professionals.
TIP #2 Consult with a mortgage professional
With the recent changes in FAT mortgages, it's making home ownership easier. How does the average person understand whether to buy or to refinance? Do the smart thing and consult with a mortgage professional -- a local person who understands our Valley and one that can answer your questions in a practical and easy way.
TIP #3 Self-employed borrowers - Minimum 2 years self-employed
One of the requirements for self-employed borrowers is they must be self-employed for at least two years. You will need to provide two years of personal tax returns -- including all schedules, and possibly business tax returns -- along with a current business financial statement.
TIP #4 Now is a great time to refinance
Home values are up, and appreciation has increased. Refinancing may allow you to re-direct cash or consolidate debt, loan terms could be shortened, or you could reduce your interest rate. Another option is to lower your overall payment.
TIP #5 VA Home Loan
Whether you're in active duty, a veteran, or a surviving spouse, a VA loan may get you into your first or next home, or refinance your current home. 100 percent financing may be available and gift funds are allowed, plus there are lower closing costs.
