How Do I Get
Started?
- Start reading classified ads
- Visit Open Houses
- Familiarize yourself with the area you want to
move to
- Send for a VA certificate IF you are a veteran.
(Just in case you end up wanting a VA mortgage.)
- Get a credit report on yourself to see if any
errors are present
(A company called TRW will send you a free report- call 1-800-682-7654)
- Save up cash for the down payment
- Don't buy anything on credit (May look bad to
lenders)
- Apply for pre-approved loan- may be used as
leverage to sellers down the line
