you’ll need to make some compromises with your
first home. Keep a few non-negotiables in your back
pocket, but otherwise be open to the idea of putting
some of your own upgrades and changes into a home
that may not have everything on your wish list.
4. Home. Don’t get stuck in the mindset that you
should spend every dollar that you qualify for in your
mortgage. This could lead to bigger problems down
the road. Look in the market under your max budget
and be creative when looking at homes for ways to
make improvements or changes that better fit your
needs. A little bit of sweat equity can go a long way
and will give the home your own personal touch.
5. Offer. Once you’ve found a house you want to call
“home,” work with your real estate agent to come
up with an offer the seller can’t refuse. Whether the
house needs some improvements or it’s a hot buy on
the market, your agent can guide you into making a
serious offer to the seller. If you’re feeling passionate
about the home, write the seller a letter explaining
why you’re the best buyer for the home. These
touches can sometimes be the difference between
getting the house of your dreams, or losing it to
another buyer.
6. Moving. You’ve done it! You’ve purchased your first
home. Now that you have a mortgage to pay, keep in
mind some money-saving tips, like asking your closest
family and friends to help you move! A little pizza
can go a long way when looking for some extra help.
Make a plan for those personal touches to add to your
home. Test out paint colors in each room to make sure
you like the color in the daylight. Purchase furniture
after making detailed measurements (you don’t want
to come home with something that doesn’t fit!). Add
some curb appeal as a finishing touch and as a way to
meet your new neighbors!
