Preparing to Buying a Home
At least six months before you start your home search, you should take advantage of this valuable free report. In today’s real estate market banks and mortgage brokers are much more diligent about processing loans than in the recent past. Therefore, it is very important to do this before buying a home to avoid delays or even a denial of your loan application.
You may also want to consult with your bank’s mortgage department where you have already established a banking relationship. Additional resources may be found in your local community. In El Paso Texas we have the El Paso Collaborative that manages the NSP (Neighborhood Stabilization Program) where homebuyers must attend a mandatory orientation class as well as homebuyer counseling classes.
