Home ownership is one of the most common goals that many people have to build their financial wealth over time. Investing in real estate can allow you to build equity with a property that you buy. If you want to determine if you’re financially ready to buy a new home, there are a few steps you’ll need to take.
Assess All of Your Debt
Assessing your debt is necessary to determine if you can afford to buy a home. Lenders will evaluate your debt-to-income ratio, which should be less than 43 percent of your income to ensure that you can continue to make your mortgage payments each month.
Improve Your Credit Score
Your credit score is one of the main factors that lenders evaluate when determining if you’re qualified for a home loan. Your credit score is a reflection of how well you manage your personal finances and if you’ll make your mortgage payment on time each month. Lenders require a credit score of at least 640. Those who have a credit score above 700 will be eligible for the lowest interest rates that are available.
You can improve your credit score by paying off remaining balances on your accounts and avoiding late payments. Paying more than the minimum amount required can also allow you to boost your score quickly. Avoid closing any of your accounts, which can have a negative impact on your score because it can shorten the amount of time you’ve had the credit history.

Avoid closing any of your accounts, which can have a negative impact on your score because it can shorten the amount of time you’ve had the credit history.
Save for the Down Payment and Closing Costs
You’ll be required to make a down payment on the home that you purchase to secure the property. The amount of money that you put down can influence your interest rate and will also determine how much you pay on the home loan each month. The amount of money that is required for the down payment depends on the type of loan that you obtain.
As a first-time home buyer, you can obtain an FHA loan, which only requires putting down at least five percent of the selling price of the home. If you plan to buy a house in a rural area, you can obtain a USDA loan, which doesn’t require a down payment. VA loans also don’t require a down payment.
Conventional loans require 20 percent of a down payment of the selling price of the house. There are many benefits of paying 20 percent, which includes not being required by your lender to pay for homeowner’s insurance. There’s also lower upfront fees, a lower monthly payment, more equity on your home, and lower on-going fees.
Extra Money
In addition to the down payment, you’ll also need to save extra money for the closing costs. Closing costs include attorney fees, loan orientation fees, taxes, surveys, credit report charges, title searches, title insurance, and discount points.
These are just a few steps you can take to help you buy your dream home!
