Four Things You Need In Order to Buy a Home: #4

4) Collateral – The Home or Property


This is the fun part. Now we can talk a little about your new home. For starters, the home you purchase must be:


  • A residential property (someplace to live)
  • Structurally sound (we’ll talk about home inspections later)
  • Worth what you are paying for it (what appraisals are for)



Just so you know: we mortgage lenders love to lend on single family homes. We like condos and even an occasional two-family property. We also finance three- and four-family properties, but a lot of the rules are different with respect to cash and credit.
