Buying a house for the first time and getting a mortgage

As everyone from Johannesburg to Cape Town knows, things are tough in this economy. But that doesn’t mean you can’t accomplish your dream of owning your own home. You just have to take the time to explore what options you have and get the best deal that you can. If you arm yourself with a little information, you can go into the home buying situation with a solid footing and not be taken for a ride by banks trying to make a profit off of you.

Getting your first home loan is not easy. You have to have fairly solid credit, a decent income and not be burdened with bills. But there are things you can do to make your search for a loan easier, and have better chances of getting approved.

The first thing you want to do is shop around for something you like. That doesn’t necessarily mean your dream home, but something you can afford. Very often a first time home buyer will go for something that they can easily afford to start off with, because the mortgage is easier to maintain and they can use the home as collateral for future home purchases. Still, you are going to have to live in the place for a few years, so make sure that you will be at least reasonably comfortable. Stay away from cheap “fix me uppers,” because they usually end up being very not cheap. The only time such a home is even remotely worth investing in is if you yourself are capable of repairing it. That way you can put more time than money into the restoration process.

Be careful about choosing a place in a rough part of town. While you can usually get lower prices for a home there, this is usually because the property values are lower in run-down areas. So you may get your first home cheap, but wait until you try to sell it. Then you’ll see why you got such a bargain when you bought the place. You cannot get something for nothing. Now, if you really intend to live in the house for a very long time and you don’t mind living in the rundown side of town, you may find this option a bargain. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

It is always useful to contact several real estate agents and see what they have in their inventory. Often they know of people who are trying to get out of their homes fairly quickly. Maybe they took a job in another region or they suddenly found themselves in financial trouble and they can’t afford to live in their existing home. This is the kind of sale that you will probably not get wind of in newspapers and other sources. This is how real estate agents make their living, knowing the who, what and how of the people buying and selling homes.

But the most important thing is to take a good look at your financial situation and determine how much you can spend. After all, a mortgage is something you will be paying on for a long time. Make sure you know what you’re getting into.
