No. 5 of 10 Things to Consider Before you Buy Your First Home





Maximum Affordable Purchase Price and Sticking to it! You have just gone thru a lot of effort to budget accurately and figure out your maximum purchase price… now you must stick to it.  So let your realtor, and those that are involved in helping you purchase your first home, know the absolute MAXIMUM so you aren’t shown properties over your budget.  Stay focused and stick to your plan!  Only deviate if you can increase your down payment or your income!  Remember, you are doing this to ensure you don’t regret your purchasing decision later, become house poor, or find yourself financially strapped and living pay cheque to pay cheque… that is misery, not the joys of home ownership!
