Get Your Finances In Order

• Have the necessary copies of these documents

  • Driver's License / Social Security Card​

  • Permanent Resident Card (if not a citizen)

  • Recent pay stubs (last 2 months)

  • Bank statements (last 2 months)

  • W-2 (last 2 years)

Buy Within Reason

• Have a good idea of what you are, and are not, willing to do with a home. Determine ahead of time whether you want a house that is ready for living, or whether you want to break out the tools and begin the fixer-up process. If you want to take the do-it-yourself route, however, be sure to establish a separate budget for that process so that you can stay on top of both the mortgage and renovation budgets.​
