Welcome back!
It’s very important to stay within a reasonable budget when you buy a home. Whether it’s a first home or a different home and whether it’s a new home or a resale, you have more than just the down payment and mortgage payments to worry about. You have all kinds of closing costs and moving expenses as well.
One way to get more house for your money without exceeding your budget is to check out foreclosure listings. Foreclosed homes can sell for significantly less than market values because the mortgagor wants their money that is in default.
If you aren’t approved for as much as you’d like, it’s a great idea to look at foreclosures as a way to get more house for your money. Do take care that you aren’t exceeding your affordability factor so you don’t end up in foreclosure down the road but by looking at this option you can either get more than you can afford or simply save a lot of money and have a nice, low mortgage payment to make.
