Keltner Insurance has come up with mistakes to avoid for first time home buyers.<\/p>\n<p>One tip is not coming up with a budget and knowing what you can and cannot afford. The bank might say what you are approved of, but that can be different from what you can actually afford. Make a list of monthly expenses to be sure how much you can actually afford. Don&rsquo;t look at homes that are outside your price range or you will end up lusting over something you cannot afford.<\/p>\n<p>The next mistake would be skipping the mortgage qualification process. Always get pre-approved for a loan before placing an offer on a home because it if you have poor credit or unstable income it can deny you. &nbsp;Also failing to consider the additional expenses can really put a burden on the new homeowners. There are additional expenses on top of the monthly payments such as property taxes, insurance, and repairs. Even find out if there is a homeowner&rsquo;s association fee. Next, being too picky is a big mistake. Everyone has a new home wish list, but don&rsquo;t be so inflexible that you just continue to rent because nothing is perfect. There might be things you have to compromise on to find a good home.<\/p>\n<p>Don&rsquo;t get caught without the level of homeowner&rsquo;s insurance coverage you need. Instead, easily compare quotes online though Keltner Insurance serving Memphis, TN. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buying a home can be a fun, exciting, and scary experience whether you are buying a home in Memphis, TN or somewhere across the states there are many tips that would be good to know.
