Partner with a Mortgage Advisor
Before you fall in love with your dream home, it’s important to know exactly what you can afford. Finding a trusted advisor before you get too deep can save you a lot of headaches in the long run.

Review your Credit Score
Credit scores are crucial to the homebuying process. It not only has a heavy impact on your mortgage terms, but your FICO score determines if you can qualify for a loan.

The benefits of owning
Owning your own home has some obvious benefits. You can paint the entire house pink if you’d like! Here are a few benefits that don’t require any pink paint and might set you up for a life of financial wellness.
Build equity
Over time, your home can develop equity, which can lead to a profit if you decide to sell or use it to pay for upgrades.
01
Buying vs Renting
Depending on your area, a mortgage payment can be the same as renting, but with the benefit that you can earn over time.
02
Tax deductions
Interest you pay down on your home is tax deductible, which can lead to a nice return when filing your tax returns.
03
Establish an empire
Again, home equity can be a powerful tool. Owning your home can help kickstart a strong real estate portfolio for some nice passive income.
