4 Budgeting Tips for First-Time Home Buyers
First-time home buyers may not be fully aware of all the extra expenses that come with purchasing a house, hence, they may have problems budgeting properly. Here are 5 items to take into account as you consider buying a home:
- Inspection cost (will range from $300 - $400)
- Closing Cost (Average cost on a $200K loan is $2400)
- Monthly utility bills (make sure you ask for last 6-12 months records)
- Maintenance (air-conditioning / heating units, roof, water heater, plumbing, insolation are some of the common issues that new home owners may have to deal with sooner than later)
