Embarking on the journey to homeownership can be both exciting and daunting. 🏡 We understand the challenges and opportunities that come with this big step! Here are some essential tips to help you start on the right foot: ✅Save for your down payment: A general rule of thumb is to aim to have 20% of the purchase price of a home saved by the time you’re ready to buy. ✅Understand the price of “paying up”: Remember, homeownership is more than a mortgage payment. You’ll have regular expenses like property taxes, monthly condo fees, HOA fees and utility charges. ✅Find out how much mortgage you can afford: A mortgage professional can help you with understanding your payments and decide which payment option suits you best. ✅Consider what mortgage rate terms are best for you: The type of rate you want will play a key role in helping you choose the mortgage that’s right for you.

Enjoy a fantastic summer without breaking the bank! Here are some simple tips to keep you on track: ☀️Paying for cable when there’s nothing on but reruns? Have a monthly gym membership, but you’d rather be outside? Consider eliminating some costs where it makes sense. ☀️Municipalities, bloggers and other online sources publish free events throughout the summer for adults and families. Look into free events near you. ☀️Sometimes we can save money just by slowing down and spending a bit more time on preparation. For example, make your fuel go farther by checking that your vehicle is running efficiently before heading out on a road trip.
