Think Loan First

Buying a new home is a very exciting adventure. You are ending one chapter in your life, and beginning a new one.

People looking for a home tend to focus on finding a home before they think about what kind of mortgage they'll get. It's often wiser to start with a solid financing plan so that you know how much you can pay on a home. That could keep you from falling in love with a house that you can't afford.

Affordability is more than the cost of the house at the time of purchase; consider what you can afford in loan payments in the future, too, especially if you choose an adjustable-rate loan. Line up the mortgage payments with the expectations of your own cash flow over time.
