Where to begin when buying your first home.



“Ring, Ring this is Keshia Torruella, how can I help you make your dreams come true”, I answered the phone. “Hi, I want to buys a home here in Orlando, but I don’t know where to start?” I think that this is probably my favorite call! Calls from First time Home Buyers. I can remember buying my first home and understanding that there were three things that I had to do before looking at a home. The first Understood how much I could spend on a home, the next was understanding where my credit was and the final one, which is almost always missed, is understanding my budget and living as though I was in the home now. I will began a series on each of these items. And I will break down the unknowns that face many first time home buyers. If you follow this in 6 months you will be prepared to begin looking for a home with a hefty down payment.
