Here are things you need to know about homebuying. It could save you thousands of dollars and help you avoid a nightmare.
Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions any person will ever make.
It's not an easy decision, but it should be an informed decision that is reached well before you buy because there are costs to consider, provided by the seller in order for you to purchase the property.
The seller may provide this information in some form of contract, or via documents which include: title insurance, structural repair estimates, as well as records of past ownership and environmental conditions of the property.
If you are a first time home buyer, I suggest you have a real estate agent help to guide you and value the property correctly. A real estate agent can do historical research as well as discuss some of the items listed above with you. They're in the best position to understand what is covered by these items and what is not included in your final inspection.
I hope this will help you to save some money and avoid potential problems further down the road. There are many kinds of risks involved in homebuying which can lead to an expensive purchase of major renovation, remodeling or at worst result in a very costly and painful foreclosure or short sale situation.
