The worksheet below is just a handy way of really sitting down and looking at your income verses expenses before talking with a lender. The other great thing about this, is it may help you understand what you can and can not afford before making that first contact with a REALTOR. Knowing is power. It gives you power to buy and power on what you will be able to negotiate.
Our current market status is a sellers market. Buyers must be aware of this and be prepared to make an offer. Showing homes that someone can not afford is a real bummer. They usually have everything that a buyer could ever dream of, and if you fall in love with it and the Lender says you cant afford it, the entire process turns into a sour time of life. Know what you can afford and see things that you can afford. Going about seeing homes in this fashion, will surely have an end result of home ownership!
