Before you start looking for a home you should ask yourself a few questions. Where do you want to live? Do you want to be close to schools, shopping, or work? What kind of house would you like (need)? Are you looking for a particular style? How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you want? Do you want a yard? How much house can you afford? Have you consulted a REALTOR® or mortgage lender to determine the size of the mortgage you would qualify for?
Then get organized:
Pull a credit report on yourself and make sure the information is accurate. If you find any errors, take steps to correct them immediately.
Browse through real estate advertisements in the newspaper and Homes magazines. This will give you a good feel for the types of homes that are on the market and what they cost.
Visit open houses on the weekend. It doesn't cost anything to look, and looking at a few different homes might give you some ideas for things you'd like in a house but haven't considered.
Start saving money - you'll need to have cash on hand for a down payment and closing costs.
Don't incure any additional debt. Pay down your credit cards - and don't apply for any new ones. Don't make any major purchases on credit - buy the furniture or car later.
Contact a REALTOR®. Your REALTOR® can help you determine how much you can afford, and they can provide you with information on homes that may interest you. The REALTOR® will also help you complete all of the necessary forms when it comes time to make an offer.

Buying a home? The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. This often includes a written report, checklist, photographs, environmental reports and what the inspector himself says during the inspection. All this combined with the seller's disclosure and what you notice yourself makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you do?
Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will fall into four categories:
1.Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure.
2.Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
3.Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy or insure the home.
4.Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.
Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property (especially in categories 2 and 4).
Commercial Mortgages Money Available for all types of business property. $100,000 to $5,000,000, terms and rates vary...all credit over 580 considered.
Money available for Purchases, Re-finance, and Re-hab.
