" When Time is of the Essence "
I remember when I purchased my first home. I could never understand why it seemed like I was jumping through fire to get approved. So many documents in what seemed like so little time. From pay-stubs to rent receipts to a nice sit down on why there was a medical bill reported on my credit. There were a lot of factors in purchasing my first home. My salary was scrutinized for the most part and overtime not even calculated. I remember argueing that I worked it, I earned it. However, in a Mortgage Lenders eyes it was not permanent. His job was to simply make sure I could ALWAYS afford the home I wanted to purchase. They didn't just look at what I could afford today. There was a much bigger picture.
Today, history repeats itself. It repeats in that today as I sit with my clients I find myself offering tips and advice on what " grandma" and "grandpa" taught me. I can sit and assure a buyer that their Mortgage Lender is not trying to get or make things personal. He is simply making sure they will ALWAYSbe able to afford their new home in the event a " rainy day does come ". He is simply reminding some that " everyone starts somewhere ". That small is the new big, conservative is a smart choice ! Do you remember your first car ? Chances are it was the hand me down clunker purchase for 500 or 800 dollars. You know the one where the side mirror was hanging off and looked as if it came from a battle ground. In the end we were okay with that. We were okay with that because it was nothing that a screw and a bolt wouldn't fix and who really cared about the dents anyway. We were driving, we got to tote our friends around and show off those dents...it was ours ! Bought and payed for and in the end that is all that mattered.
Purchasing your home is sort of the same example. You start small and work your way up. It's the memories within the walls of your new home that matter. Not the fancy chandeliers that hang or the 12 foot cathedral ceilings that increase your electric bill. Its the fact that you can sit and say with every coat of paint...It's mine and it's paid for. It's the fact that when that water heater takes a dive you can afford to pay for both the water heater and your mortgage. It's about saving for the rainy day, starting small with the beat up hand me down and working your way up to something bigger.
