Five Biggest Mistakes Homebuyers Make

1. Not knowing your credit score - The lower your credit score, the chances decrease to negotiate a lower rate an lower fee. Know your FICO score. If your score needs improvement, you can pay down revolving credit balances which can increase your score considerably.

2. Buying a car before a house - Any time customers open a new credit account, auto loan, credit card, etc... their credit score could drop. If there is a new credit in between the approval and the closing, the lender could disqualify the loan.

3. Skimping on a home inspection - Buying a pig in a polk can have serious negative effects at a later date. Many homes purchased in today's market are distressed properties and should be contingent upon an inspection.

4. Not having proper representation - Everyone involved in the transaction (agent, bankers, brokers) have a vested interest in your transaction. You should make sure you have someone that represents just you.

5. No budgeting for insurance - Most homebuyers just don't understand insurance, what it covers, or the various types of coverage. Standard policies cover theft, wind, fire, lightning, and hail. There is no coverage for earthquakes, flooding, or neglect in maintenance. You should also explore a rider for additional insurance.

Credit Check

4 things that can hurt your credit

Consumers are feeling the pinch right now through the reduced availability of credit. If you are in the market for a new home, a car or even a cell phone, it is more important than ever to make sure your credit is in great shape.

Whenever you apply for any loan, an apartment or even a job, your credit is scrutinized to asses if you are a "good credit risk." If you have a low credit score or a rocky credit history, you will see it in higher interest rates that can cost thousands of dollars more than someone with good credit.

The first step to keeping your credit in good shape is to check your credit report. Some things to look for include:

* Errors on your report
Credit report errors are surprisingly common and can take months to correct. Regularly monitoring your credit report can help you catch mistakes early.

* Debt-to-credit ratio
If you are maxing out your credit cards, lenders take this as a sign that you are borrowing as much as, or more than you can handle. Keep your balances at least 50 percent below your credit limit.

* Late payments
Making all your payments on time means you avoid a black mark on your credit report and can save you hundreds of dollars in late fees.

* Old accounts
Consider leaving old accounts open even if you don't use them much anymore. The length of your credit history is a factor in your credit score so it pays to keep accounts open.
