Preparing
to buy
Before diving into the home search, some prep work goes a long way!
Gather Your Papers
Think of this as your “Home-Buyer Kit.” It’s where you’ll keep essential financial info, crucial for securing that house financing. What’s in the kit?
- Bank statements & pay stubs
- Investment details
- Info on credit cards & auto loans
- Tax returns from the last two years
- Any lease copies for properties you’ve invested in
- Details on your 401K, life insurance, stocks, and other accounts.
