Podcast 12 Buying your First Home

This subject will address the process used to make the biggest purchase of your life. There are so many decisions that need to be made before you even start looking and the most overlooked pre-purchase activity is usually an afterthought and then it may be too late. Think about why you’re moving and therefore where you want to start looking. Have you gotten your finances in order to do this and have you researched what it will really cost to make this purchase? Have you made a reasonable estimate of what you can really afford without creating financial pressures in the near future? Rest assured that the house you will probably buy will cost more than what you think you want or can afford, so be prepared. 

This podcast will outline this involved process and help you focus on what to do first and then address the myriad of subsequent steps to get you to the final purchase event. Finally, it will discuss the subject of home maintenance and encouragement for you to learn to do it yourself.
