STEP 2: Preparing To Buy

Before you start shopping for your property, it is a good idea to make some preparations.


Build Your Green File

All of your critical financial documents are kept in a green file. It will be required in order to obtain finance for your house. The following items should be included in a typical green file:

  • Financial statements

  • Bank accounts

  • Investments

  • Credit cards

  • Auto loans

  • Recent pay stubs

  • Tax returns for two years

  • Copies of leases for investment properties

  • 401K statements, life insurance, stocks, bonds, and mutual account information.


Check Your Credit SCore

Your credit score will have a significant impact on the sort of home you can purchase and the amount you can pay. It's best to start by checking your credit score with a reputable lending organization to see what you can afford. The lender will research and collect your credit scores from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, the three major credit reporting agencies.

Make Smart financial choices

Making drastic professional changes or significant, expensive purchases now is not a good idea. You should approach your real estate transaction with financial security in mind.
