Homebuyers, mortgage preapproval is critical for your success

In today's real estate bubble, buying a home can be a quite an endeavour.

Mortgage brokers and real estate agents have more tools to get you over-extended and in financial trouble if you don't stay in control.

Before buying a home, you simply must get pre-approved for a mortgage, but before you do this, you need to figure out how much you can afford to spend each month. Just because, on paper, you can afford more, doesn't mean you should.

In a hot market, this is extremely important. In such markets, you must plan on a bidding war, so you better have a good idea of what your closing costs are going to be on top of any additional bidding and utilize all of that to figure out what you really can afford.

For new buyers, single family homes might be too expensive, unless you are willing to live far, far out in the suburbs, or if you are willing to move into more urban, up-and-coming neighborhoods. Otherwise, the condo market might be your best bet.

The most important thing about purchasing your home is understanding your finances. Once that is accomplished, and you are preapproved, stay realistic and facilitate the fact that you are going to close as quickly as possible, with as few problems as possible.
