BUY PROPERTY STEP 1 - DEFINE NEEDS FOR YOUR NEW PROPERTY |
||
|
Congratulations on your decision to purchase a new property! Your first step toward buying your new property will be to analyze your needs. I can help you determine exactly what you want your new property to look like and how it should function for you and your family. First, you should write down why you are looking for a new property. For example, are you currently renting and would like to have a property where you can begin building equity? Maybe you recently married and have outgrown your current residence. Or, maybe you have just gotten a promotion, which requires you to move to a new city. These factors will all have a bearing on how you approach your property search. Second, establish a time frame for buying your property. Depending on your reasons for wanting a new property and the current state of the |
market in the area you are looking to buy, you should be able to come up with a rough guideline, which you can finalize at a later time. Finally, you probably have a mental picture of what you would like your house to look like and the features it should have. It's very important to write these ideas down to avoid any ambiguity later in your property search. You should make at least two lists: one should be a list describing your dream property and the other should list the features of the property that are an absolute must have in order to buy it. In a perfect world, your new property would fulfill both lists 100 percent. It is more likely that you will end up blending the two lists into a schedule of prioritized items as you progress through the buying process. This is a natural, evolutionary process as you get clearer about what you want and what is available. |
