I am looking for a NEW home. What do I need to do to get myself ready financially (besides pulling my credit score). What pitfalls should I look for when trying to purchase a new home? Anyone know good programs for first-time buyers?

I am a first-time home buyer, and have begun the process by looking at properties, doing tons of research, talking to loan officers and mortgage brokers, and looking at FHA, various state grant programs, and specialized grants. Ideally I’d like to buy a home in New Hampshire and take advantage of the Rural Development Grant.

As I move along in this process, what kind of questions should I be asking, to myself and to the mortgage person / R.E. agent? The basics would be very helpful, thanks.

I have the opportunity to buy a house right now, but only if I make the deadline for the $8,000 tax credit. My dad said that it was not a grant, like I thought it was, and that I would have to pay it back. What is the deal with this credit?

What is the best rate that 1st time buyers can get with 30 year mortgage? Since I am very new at this, I want to get an idea and I don’t want to get ripped off on the rates!

I’m looking for any grants or special low interest, zero down loans out there that will allow me to have more purchasing power than I currently possess.

Real Estate Tips Considering a Home Purchase With an investment as large as a home there are many things to consider. Market trends, area information and government programs should all play a role in the decision to buy. Use this Real Estate Tips video to learn why RE/MAX agents are uniquely qualified to help you identify your ideal place.

I am 21 and I recently started looking into some real estate listings just for the heck of it. I came across a couple of houses that are at or below ,000, I went to take a look at them and they are in very nice condition as well as being in good neighborhoods, mostly because we are in a serious real estate slump here in Michigan. I feel like it is the right time to buy something especially so I can take advantage of the first time home buyer credit. What would be an ideal situation for me would be to purchase the home with a very low down payment and I do not know much about loans, but with a 10 year fixed APR mortgage, the loan would be extremely affordable. The plan would be that I could pay it off in ten years and either still live in it or sell/rent the property. My question is does this sound at all reasonable for me to be doing and are there even lending companies out there willing to work with low down payment mortgages that are that short of a term?

I’m thinking about buying my first home!

Despite the major economic problems, I’m in a financially solid position and the market is in a position where it is very favorable for buyers.

Nevertheless, I’m very overwhelmed and worried that I may end up buying a house that is a lemon. On the other hand, I really want to try and "strike while the iron is hot" and not let this opportunity slip through my fingers. We may not have such a favorable housing market for another 10 or 20 years.

Any advice?
