A guide for first time home buyers

Buying your first home can be simpler than you think. Here is a plain-English walkthrough.

Step 1: Know your monthly number

Start with what you pay in rent today. Add a cushion for repairs and utilities. That is the payment range to look for.

Step 2: Save the down payment

Seller-financed homes often need only a few thousand dollars down. Each listing shows the exact amount.

Step 3: Tour and inspect

Homes are sold as-is. Walk the property, check the roof, plumbing, electrical and heating, and bring a contractor or inspector if you can.

Step 4: Review the agreement and close

Read the terms, ask questions, sign and pay your down payment. Then the keys are yours.
