Purchase
There are many factors to consider as you begin looking to buy a home. While they vary in significance from person to person, in general, people want to find a nice house in a nice area for a nice price. To be more specific, you need to consider the following:
* What kind of area do you want to live in: City, suburban or rural
* What is the size of home you need? The size you want?
* Are you willing to commute to work and, if so, how far?
* How long will you live there? (Remember to factor in growing in your career.)
* Do you like the neighborhood?
* What about the quality of the schools?
* What are the local amenities: Shopping, restaurants, churches, medical facilities, freeway access, proximity to an airport or train station, etc.?
* What are the anticipated expenses, such as property taxes, city easements, new appliances, etc.?
* Does your lifestyle fit or adapt to owning a home?
Think about these questions very carefully. You are ready to start house hunting when you can realistically answer each of them.
