6. You can, and should, get preapproved for a home loan before you go looking for a home.

Preapproval is easy, and can give you complete peace-of-mind when shopping for your home.

Mortgage experts can obtain written preapproval for you at no cost and no obligation, and it can all be done quite easily over-the-phone. T

he Lerew Brothers, Wake Forest Realtors have many resources from where to make some good choices.

More than just a verbal approval from your lending institution, a written preapproval is as good as money in the bank.

It entails a completed credit application, and a certificate which guarantees you a mortgage to the specified level when you find the home you’re looking for.

Consider dealing only with a professional who specializes in mortgages.

Enlisting their services can make the difference between obtaining a mortgage, and being stuck in the renter’s rut forever. Typically there is no cost or obligation to enquire.

Part 5 of “HOW TO STOP PAYING RENT AND OWN YOUR OWN HOME” is offered by the Lerew Brothers Realtors/Brokers of the Wake Forest North Carolina and surrounding areas.

To sum up, there are many important issues you should be aware of that affect you as a renter.

Why on earth would you continue to lose thousands by throwing it away on rent when with your agent you could take a few minutes to discuss your specific needs so that you can stop renting and start owning?

This conversation costs you nothing. Give the Wake Forest experts, The Lerew Brothers, Wake Forest Area Realtors, a call today for a no obligation conversation.

And, of course, you shouldn’t have to feel obligated to buy a home at the time you review this.

But by taking the time to explore your options, and learn about the ways you can afford to buy a home, think how prepared and relaxed you’ll be when you are ready to make this important step.

 3. You may be able to find a seller to help you buy and finance your home. 

 Some sellers may be willing to hold a second mortgage for you as a “seller take-back.” 

 In this case, the seller becomes your lending institution. 

 Instead of paying this seller a lump-sum full amount for his or her home, you would pay monthly mortgage installments.

 4. You may be able to create a cash down payment without actually going into debt.

By borrowing money for certain investments to a specified level, you may be able to generate a significant tax refund for yourself that you can use as a down-payment. 

 While the money borrowed for these investments is technically a loan, the monthly amount paid can be small, and the money invested in both home and investment will be yours in the end.

 5. You can buy a home even if you have problems with your credit rating.

 If you can come up with more than the minimum down-payment, or can secure the loan with other equity, many lending institutions will consider you for a mortgage. 

 Alternatively, a seller take-back mortgage could also help you in this situation.

The problem that most renters face isn’t your ability to meet a monthly payment.

Goodness knows you must meet this monthly obligation every 30 days already.

The problem is accumulating enough capital to make a down payment on something more permanent.

But saving for this lump sum doesn’t have to be as difficult as you might think. 

Consider the following 6 important points:

1.  You can buy a home with much less down than you think. 

There are some local or federal government programs (such as 1^st time buyer programs) to help people get into the housing market.

You can qualify as a first time buyer even if your spouse has owned a home before as long as your name was not registered.

Ensure your real estate agent is informed and knowledgeable in this important area and can offer programs to help you with your options.

 2. You may be able to get your lender to help you with your down payment and closing costs.

Even if you do not have enough cash for a down-payment, if you are debt-free, and own an asset free and clear (such as a car, for example), your lending institution may be able to lend you the down-payment for your home by securing it against this asset.

After all, the situations that some sellers are facing now could very well be the same for any new buyer that becomes Wake Forest Real Estate property owner down the line.

But when you add the changing leaves, enjoyable temperatures throughout the day and crisp cool temperatures in the evening, this is what heaven must be like. 

Real Estate agents sometimes get caught up in the homes and land they sell treating it like just any transaction or contract. 

It is more than just real estate and sometimes it is ok to enjoy the land and our surroundings. 

As the leaves start to change and then eventually fall, the Wake Forest and surrounding areas reveal the topography, boundaries and the many features of the real estate landscape we take for granted.

As a real estate broker and realtor for the Lerew Brothers, what is obvious to some is not so obvious to others as a seller living in their own surroundings. 

As I share with my real estate sellers in the Wake Forest area, look at your home for sale as if you were purchasing the home; putting on your buyer glasses and smell with your buyer nose. 

It sounds ridiculous, but it can make a difference in whether your real estate sells or remains on the market. 

Simple adjustments to removing nic-nacs, painting in neutral colors or even considering the disposition of family pets can make or break a sale.
