Tip #23
Home Buying Tip, Big Ticket Items:
Before you buy a home
you should avoid buying any big ticket items. When this is found out during the credit
process or reporting it can make mortgage banks nervous.
Even if you will be able to get a loan, you might not be
able to get the best available interest rate.
|
|
Tip #24
Home Selling Tip, Listing Right:
A common mistake when people list their house (especially in a
buyers’ market) is list the house at a high price that they
don’t anticipate to sell it at.
They figure that if they get it then GREAT but if not they can
always lower the price.
This is not a good practice because what mostly
happens is it will stay on the market for a while and make potential home buyers nervous because
it’s been on the market so long.
