Your credit score is now the most important factor in determining how much house you can buy, so if you are in the market for a new home, you need to understand how it affects you. In order to make it easy for mortgage companies to determine the risk of lending to you, they are using a system called credit scoring (also called "FICO" scores).
There are a few easy ways to make extra principle payments that can save you a ton of money in interest expenses and get you mortgage-free sooner than you thought possible. The results of this simple strategy can save you a fortune and drastically reduce the length of your mortgage.

How to Avoid a Money Pit: Be on the Lookout for these 6 Warning Signs That Could Mean Expensive Repairs. Many people think that serious defects in a home are easy to spot, but the truth is, often the most serious and costly problems can only be detected upon very close inspection. When you are considering buying a home, look for the following six telltale signs of serious problems.
The best way to avoid this is to get pre-approved for a mortgage so you know exactly how much you can afford. Usually pre-approvals are free. You should always have a professional inspector look at the home before buying it, otherwise you could be looking at huge repair costs later on. Read this guide to avoiding a money pit.
I had the pleasure of working with both Doug and Bryan during my "house hunt" this year. The market conditions were atrocious for buyers. I was concerned that I would NEVER find a house that I could both afford and enjoy! They proved me wrong. They were motivated to find the right house for me, and had the confidence and experience needed in an aggressive market to make it happen.

If you're looking for a team that will ultimately give you everything you've been looking for, this is them. Making the decision to move on to "bigger and better things" was at first stressful and overwhelming for us, but Bryan and Doug made the experience effortless and so exciting for our family. With a very specific list of wants and needs, they were able to find everything we could have dreamed of. Do not look any further if you want a committed team who will go above and beyond for you and your family. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!!

Doug and Bryan are an amazing team. They helped our family navigate the selling and buying process with honesty and expertise. Since they have so many years in the business, they came with contacts for trades to help with work needing to be done.
Selling our home during a pandemic was definitely an interesting experience, but Doug and Bryan used high safety measures and technology to minimize unecessary contact in order to keep our family heathy during this process.
If you are looking for realtors with integrity, enthusiasm and professionalism... my family highly recommends The Strong Team ðŸ
