Your home is one of the most important investments you will ever buy. First-time home buyers often struggle to find the right property which also fits their budget. So here are some answers to those common concerns you may have.

.

Question #1: What expenses should I expect when buying a home?

There are three types of expenses you have to prepare for when buying a property:

– Earnest Money: The earnest money is what you pay when you making the initial offer to the seller.

– Down Payment: Your down payment is a percentage of the total cost of the home.

– Closing Costs: The closing cost is the fee for processing the sale of the property.

Question #2: Can I buy a home if I have a bad credit rating?

Yes, even with a low credit score possible you’re still a candidate for a good mortgage plan. Depending on your credit status, your loan interest rate may only be affected.  Or you’ll need to consider alternative financial options, like seller financing.  A Denver real estate agent can help you look into various financing options to see their qualifications.
