To get the best rates and the best results from lenders, you have to meet certain requirements. Take a moment to review those requirements, and see how well you meet them.

– UNDERSTAND THE COSTS OF HOMEOWNERSHIP: There are advantages to owning a home, but there are also disadvantages. Decide if owning or renting is the right choice for you.

– THE HOUSE IS YOURS—YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO IT!: Renters are usually extremely restricted, sometimes they can’t even repaint the walls. If you own your home though, the only restrictions are local building codes.

– YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HAVE MORE STABLE HOUSING COSTS: With a fixed-rate mortgage, you’ll be able to predict your monthly principal and interest payment amount with the best assistance from a Hampton Roads real estate broker. Property taxes and insurance are the primary things that can change the monthly cost of your home. Renters on the other hand could face rent increases each time they move, or if their lease is renewed.

– YOU MAY BE ABLE TO REDUCE YOUR INCOME TAX COSTS: You can deduct mortgage interest and your local property taxes at tax time. That could save you a lot, especially in the early years of your mortgage when your payments will be mostly interest. Renters don’t get this tax break. Consult a tax advisor about your personal situation.

– A HOUSE CAN INCREASE IN VALUE: Depending on where your house is located, what kind of house you have, and economic conditions, your house may become worth more than you paid for it.

– UNDERSTANDING YOUR CREDIT SCORE: Your credit score is a three-digit number that can range from 300 to 850. Most scores range from 600 to 700. A higher credit score increases your chances of getting approved for a loan, and obtaining a lower interest rate.
