HOW TO KNOW IF YOU ARE READY TO BUY A HOME

Ask yourself:


* Do I have a steady source of income (usually a job) Have I been employed on a regular basis for the last 2-3 years Is my current income reliable
* Do I have a good record of paying my bills
* Do I have few outstanding long-term debts, like car payments
* Do I have money saved for a down payment
* Do I have the ability to pay a mortgage every month, plus additional costs

Homeownership is becoming a reality for more and more Americans. During 2000, the US homeownership rate reached 67.7%, the highest rate ever. Yet many Americans don't realize that homeownership is within their grasp.

A home is a financial asset and more: it's a place to live and raise children; it's a plan for the future; it's an investment in your community.
