Habits
to have before making your purchase
Habit
No. 1: Automate your down payment savings
- Save, Save, Save – in order to have the 20% recommended down payment
- Amassing enough for a down payment takes discipline and perseverance, but setting up automatic savings can make it easier
Habit No. 2: Build your credit history and keep it clean
- Pay Off Past Debts
- Stay on top of your credit cards, car and college loans
- Don’t avoid credit all together; but pay all your bills and payments on time
Habit No. 3: Practice living on a budget
- Compare renting vs buying in your area
- Create a budget that factors in your new reality so you can get used to living on less disposable income
- Downsizing your budget early also means you’ll be able to save more for your down payment, pay down debt, or save for furniture for your new home.
Habit No. 4: Get your handy on
- Property maintenance … is an ongoing effort for homeowners
- Knowing how to fix basic home issues … will save thousands of dollars in the future
Habit No. 5: Prepare to pounce
