Buying a house? What to look for? Decisions, Decisions!!

Making the decision to purchase a new home can be extremely challenging and can come with a lot of consequences.  This could be one of the biggest decisions you will have to make in your lifetime. 
As with any decision there are both benefits and expenses that come along with it.  There are a few things that you could look into when trying to make this decision for you and or your family. 


The first thing that may come to your mind is how you are going to finance your new home.  There are options to pay cash right up front or take out a loan. 
The loan could be through your bank or the home owner development may have their own finance department that you can go through.  Either way you will need to do your own research on the side to make sure that you are using the best financial option for you.
You will need to discuss  this  with  your home owner’s development to find out their best options and then contact your bank to see what they would be willing to give you for a loan.  Once you determine how much you could get approved for on your loan then that is when you can begin your house hunting process.
If you chose to pay for your house for cash that could be a little less stressful for you because you know you have the amount of money that you want to spend on your new home so you will be getting a new home and still having no debt.
When you begin the house hunting process the most important thing to take note of is the location.  Not only does the location matter for you but for the value of the home.  You may have a beautiful home but if it is in a location with a lot of crime, or the surrounding homes have a much lower value that will then decrease the value of your home as well. 
This will matter when it comes time for you and your family to move and you are wanting to sell your house.  There are more things that go into the value of your home than just the appearance
