Primary Homeownership Considerations
Down Payment
<

%
There are few things right off the bat to keep in mind as you approach becoming a homeowner. First, know that you’ll likely have to handle some upfront costs and fees before proceeding further. There’s your down payment, or the amount you put upfront for the home’s value. This can be upwards of 20% of the value of the home.
Then there are fees associated with closing, as well any inspection costs. You’ll want the home thoroughly inspected inside and out prior to moving forward. This ensures its integrity, and plays a huge role in the decision making process.
Recurring Fees to Consider
Keep in mind that beyond these upfront costs, there will also be recurring debits once you settle on a home. There’s your mortgage payments, and any applicable interest rates to observe. Then there’s upkeep, which, depending on the issue, can become costly in no time at all.
Also, if you plan to have electricity, running water, and more, be prepared to cover your monthly utility bill. Last but not least, there are your average HOA fees (Homeowners Association). Most of these will be determined by the value of the home. If it’s a larger nicer home, prepare to pay out equivalent dividends.
