Move-Up Strategies to “Buy First Then Sell” - Alee Douglass This 5-part series is a “how-to” guide for moving up to your next home with as little stress as possible. Whether it’s your first time moving up or you’ve done it before, this series is a great resource. This time around, you’ve got more to think about, plan, and “get right” then when you bought your first home. Many move-up buyers would rather buy their new home first, and then sell their current home, but it can be more difficult to do when it comes to financing. A lender must approve you to buy first, and that way you’re not required to sell your current home in order to finance your next one. However, you want to make sure you don’t end up with two homes at the same time (at least for too long!), and today’s article gives you a rundown of what to expect. https://www.aleedouglass.com/blog/move-up-strategies-to-buy-first-then-sell #AleeDouglass #AleeDouglassRealEstateBroker #AleeDouglassBrokerAssociate #AleeDouglassRealEstateAdvisor #AleeDouglassPremierSotheby #BuyFirstThenSellAleeDouglass

What to Say When You First Contact a Lender - Alee Douglass Follow this series to learn how to get the best mortgage for your specific financial situation and goals. You’ll see what steps you need to take throughout this process to make it productive and successful! This week’s article is all about what to say when you first contact a lender - Alee Douglass. And, guess what?! It’s not “How much can I be approved for?” No, no! Most people can be approved for much more than they want to spend. I’ll teach you exactly what to say and how to say it to make sure you’re getting what you need before you start your house hunt. https://www.aleedouglass.com/blog/what-to-say-when-you-first-contact-a-lender #AleeDouglass #AleeDouglassRealEstateBroker #AleeDouglassBrokerAssociate #AleeDouglassRealEstateAdvisor #AleeDouglassPremierSotheby'sInternationalRealty

Should You Use 401k Money for a Down Payment?— Alee Douglass Getting a 401k loan is one way to get additional money toward a down payment. It’s a lump sum of money that is already yours -- not the bank’s! It’s understandable if you may be wary of using any retirement funds for anything other than retirement. However, it’s worth evaluating the long-term pros and cons of borrowing this money if you want to buy a home sooner than later. https://www.aleedouglass.com/blog/should-you-use-401k-money-for-a-down-payment #AleeDouglass #AleeDouglassRealEstateBroker #AleeDouglassBrokerAssociate #AleeDouglassRealEstateAdvisor #AleeDouglassPremierSotheby'sInternationalRealty

How Much Can You Really Afford Each Month? — Alee Douglass Follow this series to learn how to get the best mortgage for your specific financial situation and goals. You’ll see what steps you need to take throughout this process to make it productive and successful! It’s all about what you can afford each month before you determine a price range! As discussed last week, you need this amount so your lender can work backward to determine a correlating sales price. That’s why your first step is to look at your monthly budget, which will help determine what your monthly mortgage payment should be. Then they can pre-approve you for an amount you’re comfortable with (and not necessarily a higher amount they say you can afford). · Remember, it’s not helpful to know WHAT you qualify for (FYI lenders can qualify you for more than you want!). · It’s helpful to know what YOU WANT to qualify for and what those numbers look like—both your potential monthly payments along with down-payment requirements. If you do it this way, you won’t start looking at homes that are not in the price range that makes sense for your budget. https://www.aleedouglass.com/blog/how-much-can-you-really-afford-each-month #AleeDouglassRealEstateAdvisor #AleeDouglassRealEstateBroker
