Today's episode is all about how to buy a home. What does that process look like? What does the pride of home ownership mean? That's an amazing feeling, to have a place that you can call your own, a home base, a mortgage payment that's locked in. 

Steps to buy a home:

  • Figure out if you can be approved for financing unless you're sitting on cash and you're going to write a check for it.

    • Gather information of what your goals are
    • Determine your budget
    • Two most important numbers, your monthly payment and total cash to close
    • Where you want to buy it
    • How much you have available to put down
    • Roughly what your credit score is
    • What you do for a living
  • Submit an application online and you're going to provide some paperwork to verify your income and your assets.
  • Run a credit report.
  • Prequal consultation.
  • You get a pre-qualification letter.
  • Shop for homes.
