With your help of course.
Which program is best for you? • It is imperative that you do not over extend your selves when buying a home. • To determine what price you can afford go by the 1% rule $100000 home will cost you $1000 a month including taxes and insurance • If you have been paying $700 a month rent for the past 5 years try to stay at $700
A home costs more than a rental • Remember in your own home you pay for the repairs. • Therefore you must budget for repairs as well as a mortgage payment. • Always ask for a Home Warranty • Extend it and pay for it on a monthly basis after the first year
