I completely agree with you Joe! We tend to feel pressured or rushed to take certain steps in our lives. Making sure it is the right time for you and that you are truly ready, on your own terms, is key. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks Chonce! I’m glad you enjoyed the article. You are very right about checking your credit score often and ensuring it is as strong as possible before approaching a lender. Your score is very important so keeping it in tip-top shape will be worth it for money saving in the long run!

Hi Kristin! Thank you for your response and point regarding the varying costs of an HOA. It can blindside many new homeowners but hopefully after reading this, new homeowners will be careful with finding out these costs in advance as much as possible.

One of the things I didn’t factor when I bought my first home was the cost of having an HOA. The monthly/annual fees ranged greatly and I thought it was crazy how much extra it could add to my monthly payment. I know not everyone lives in an HOA, but it was definitely an expense I didn’t think about when I bought my first home!

I’d definitely recommend checking your credit score often and well before you even get preapproved. As joint borrowers, my husband and I knew our lender would probably pick on the person with the weakest score so we worked to make sure both of our scores were great. It makes a big difference when it comes to your interest rate.
