i want to buy a house?

Answer 1

Call a realtor, make a list of what you want the house to have, pick an area, look at the MLS and open houses, see a mortgage broker pre-qualify for a loan, put in an offer, choose the length of time you want to be in escrow, close and viola!

Answer 2

Well, we bought our first house 4 years ago, and I wish we had stayed renting most of the time.
Be sure to figure in the property taxes and homeowners insurance if it is not included in your mortgage. And know that these go up every year! Also, what the current homeowner pays for taxes is NOT what you will pay. Depending on how long they lived there, it may be a huge difference. (The longer they have lived there, the lower their taxes are than yours will be). Also, be sure to find a good mortgage company or bank lender. Compare and ask what all the "hidden costs" will be. You always pay more than the house when you get a mortgage due to various closing costs and realtor fees, etc.
And if you move into a city or town, ask about the water bills, garbage pick up, etc.
It adds up quick! Alot of homeowners are being foreclosed on or trying desperately to sell right now partly due to higher gas prices, rising electric bills, sudden loss of job or lack of hours, etc.
I wish you the best of luck, but please don't enter into it lightly. Do the math and I hope it all works out for you! :)

Answer 3

Read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". There's some great information in there about finances and how sometimes a home is not an asset at all.

Answer 4

Uhm...you need to be a little more specific on what you need help with. To start off, though, go on to the Internet & start browsing websites that have listings, or call a local agent who can help. Good luck & be more specific next time! ;)

Answer 5

good for you, it is great one time a year, tax time, the rest of the time, when something breaks, you call yourself. it is a never ending money pit, but you do get some benefits.
