If you are saving money for a house, here's some advice that will put you in a great position to make your goal become a reality 

This advice comes after seeing hundreds of families we've helped over the past few years save enough money to buy their first home

#1 Decide On a Budget 

By figuring out how much house you can afford, you can then decide then how much money you are going to need for the downpayment 

In general, you will need at least 5% to 7% of the value of the house to get started with an FHA loan. 

This Federal Backed Loan Program requires at least 3.5% down payment. Ideally, you also need to save up money for the closing costs, which could amount betwenn 1.5% to 3% of the value of the house. 

#2 Pay Down Your Debt

If you have other debts, such as a car loan, credit cards, student loans or department store credit, they could easily limit the amount of money you will qualify for a mortgage plus it will keep you from saving enough money to put towards your down payment 

​

#3 Pay Yourself First 

Saving money every month is a way to pay yourself on a monthly basis. If you want to get serious about buying a home, you have to pass this test first. 

If you have money left each month to pay yourself in the form of a savings plan...you are ready to buy a house. 

​

#4 Reduce Your Expenses 

You must reduce your expenses and avoid living paycheck to paycheck. This is the telltale sign that you are not ready for homeownership yet 

Just remember to give yourself time to save enough money — it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
