Preparing for a hurricane

After you have all the important papers in a file where you can just take it with you, what next?

If you decide to leave for a storm, please consider the following:

Having a plan of where you are going and a plan of contact. Who you are going to call? Is there someone that can be a base that is not in the same area that everyone can call and check in with.

After that then you need to prepare your home. Most people already know about putting up plywood, but another thing to remember is to remove any debris from your lawn, flower pots,bird feeders, yard art, benches ect. This is to prevent these items from going into your window or a neighbors window. Bring in all trash and trash cans

Budgeting for a home

When budgeting for a home a buyer should have 3 budgets.
The first is a current budget. Take 30 days to track where every penny goes.
you will be amazed at where you end up spending most of your money.
Then run a budget with the house note that you will have if you buy a house.
Then run a budget adding in a budget for house hold repairs,savings,emergency fund, retirement,and items for children if you have them.
This will help you see "how much " of a house note you can truly afford. Lenders do not consider food,electricity,movies or any of day to items when they approve you for a loan amount. they only consider debit and income.

How to start in looking for a house

In asking around I have discovered that many people do not know how to get started in purchasing a home. Most start by driving around and calling the for sale sign that they see and end up talking to someone about that house and then they move on to the next sign.
Well the best way to start is to interview agents. Ask your family and friends who they have used in the past and what they liked or disliked about their agent. Call the agents and interview them.
Once you have chosen an agent they should start by telling you to call a lender and see what you can be approved for.
After the approval comes in, go over this with the agent. A great agent will help you see if it is feasible and help you establish a budget before even looking at a house. A great agent will also ask to see the good faith from the lender so the agent can help negotiate closing cost.
Remember to always ask a lot of questions... a great agent may not no the answer right away but will always be willing to find the correct answer.
