How to buy a house?

Is it your first time hunting an apartment and you need some help and tips to make sure you are on the right path? Do you want to get rid of your annoying neighbors and find a place you can spend your lifetime in peacefully?
Home buying isn’t a simple thing, and won’t happen over day. It is a process that takes time.
But don’t worry; and look no further, you are on the right page. Not only we display houses for sale on www.sodeco-gestion.com , but we will help you through this process to make sure you chose the right one.

Here are some useful tips that you will need to know and memorize.


1-     Know your budget.
You should set your own budget, and we will find you the best value for money.


2-     Buying or Renting?
It depends on where you live and how long you plan to stick around,
researchers found that in most major markets it still makes better financial sense to buy.

3-     Be ready for any down payment
What is a down payment? It is a type of payment made in cash during the onset of the purchase of the house. The payment typically represents only a percentage of the full purchase price.
Generally there are 20% down payment and you’ll need an additional 3 to 5 percent for closing costs.


4-     Bank Loan:
Determine 28% of your gross monthly income, this is the recommended percentage to use on your entire house payment: principal, interest, mortgage insurance, taxes and home insurance.

5-     Aim for a house you can really afford. It is a simple but important tip.


6-     Be careful for every detail while buying and ask about the neighborhood.
Is there a school in the district you are moving to? Is it a calm neighborhood? How far is it from your business place? All of those little factors can help boost your property’s value.

 
7-     Be real about prices.
Keep in your mind that every place the price changes from another. It all depends on where you are buying. For example, the square meter in Beirut’s price is higher than the square meter in Metn. Don’t expect it will all be the same.




8-    Don’t let your vision limit your imagination

Sometimes while visiting the properties, they aren’t ready yet, for example their furniture isn’t removed. Don’t see the apartment just like it is, but use your own imagination to see the apartment the way it will be after you make it your own style and furniture.
