Understand How Much You Can Afford As a Down Payment
The down payment is one of the largest expenses that can be incurred
when purchasing a home, according to Nick Statman. This is a
percentage of the total property price you are expected to pay at the
initial stage. As for a down payment, it is traditionally calculated
for a typical home as 5-20% of the full price. Find out the maximum
amount of money that you can come up with in terms of a down payment
by way of saving and/or investing.

Factor In Closing Costs
Besides the down payment, there are also closing costs when closing a
property purchase. These are costs for processing the loan,
appraisal, inspection, attorney costs and the like. It is important
to note that closing costs may amount to between 3%-5% of the total
price. You should always consider this while preparing funds so that
you can cater for these expenses when closing the deal.
Consider Monthly Mortgage Payments
When you find out the kind of down payment you can afford, estimate
your payment per month on the remaining balance on the mortgage. To
prevent being “house poor”, make sure that your estimated monthly
payment falls within your current income and, at the same time, leave
a little space in order to cater for other necessary expenses in life
as well as saving.

Furnishing Expenses
Budgeting should also involve costs of transport as well as the first
purchases of furniture necessary to start occupying the space. This can easily
cost a few thousand dollars, according to the expertise of Nicholas Statman.
These costs should be estimated to be higher when preparing the budget so as
to adequately cater for all the other expenditures that may be incurred when
one is contracting new property.
It’s always wise to set some allowance for emergencies such as repairs, sudden
changes in HOA fees, and an increase in property taxes, among other issues.
Always ensure that you do not over-strain yourself when setting a price limit
for a property to be bought. Find more space in your monthly budget, and it
might also be useful to create a specific home emergency fund.

Conclusion
Sticking to this budget when acquiring a new property means one will not be
able to spend more than they have planned for, according to Nick Statman. Cost
control is another vital aspect when it comes to purchasing a place since
considering all the possible costs that are associated with the purchase
prevents one from getting financially outclassed later in the future. It’s
important to be very disciplined with the budget numbers when you are
searching for property.
