If you can answer “yes” to most or all of these questions, you are probably in good shape for buying a home: • Do you have steady income (i.e. a job)? Is this income reliable? Have you been employed on a regular basis for the last two or three years? • Do you have the ability to pay a mortgage every month, plus the additional costs of maintaining a home? • Do you have a good record of paying bills? • Do you have few outstanding long-term debts? • Do you have money saved for a down payment? • Have you been pre-qualified by a mortgage bank or broker? If you are ready to buy, you can get connected to a top Realtor in your area through the Real Estate Chamber Of Commerce (http://www.realestatechamberofcommerce.com). There is no charge for uysing the RECC network. How do you know if you’re ready for buying a home?
