Now is a good time to buy or sell in rural America. Here are just a few reasons:
- According to the US Census Bureau * , homeowners have far greater "net worth" than renters. There are several
reasons for that. There may be some instances where renting is better for you, generally, it is better to own. I will tell
you the truth.
- Please be careful in dealing with "Internet" and "TV AD" Lenders. There are many pitfalls in the loan process, I can
help you through it with legitimate lenders.
- The housing market has slowed in the big cities. The mortgage crisis has an impact on many attempting to get
loan approval for the first time. A real estate professional is your best help in finding a lender with just the right loan
for your needs.
- Pre-qualifying. Find out how much home you can afford. Usually this can be done over the phone
by a mortgage professional.
- Pre-approval. This is actually applying for the loan and getting approved by a lender for a specific
amount of money.
- Get free professional help. Instead of looking at houses you do not really want or cannot afford, a
real estate professional can help filter out the homes that are not in your best interests.
- Negotiating the lowest sales price and best overall deal. A professional real estate agent can find
the true market value of the home you desire. Remember, there is more than the sales price to
negotiate.
- Find out who your friends are. When the sale closes, its time to move in! Your friends can help with
the move, and help celebrate your new investment.
