Getting Pre-Approved For Finance
Stop searching without finance. Go to a mortgage broker. Brokers have options. They shop around. They find the best deal tailored to you. Get the green light. This is a letter you can spend a specific limit.
Why do you need this? Certainty. At an inspection, you are serious. Putting in a bid, the agent takes you seriously. If you tell me "I need to check finance," It is risky. A financed buyer gets the deal.

Budgeting For The Extras
The purchase price is just the start. There are hidden costs. The big tax. In SA, it costs a lot. Calculate it. Good news, for first home buyers, abolition of duty on new homes (rules change). Existing property, it applies. Factor this in.

What To Look For At Open Inspections
When you inspect, ignore the styling. Paint is cheap. Look at the bones. Are there cracks? Look up. Look at frames. Smell the air. Is it noisy?.
Stay cool with the vibe. Fall in love the land. Renovate later. You are stuck with the street. The entry point, look for potential. The ugly house is the bargain. Make money. The shiny one costs top dollar. Think value.
Hire an inspector. Essential. Cheap insurance. Protects you. Structural damage, be aware before you buy. If the report is bad, cancel (check contract). Avoid disaster.
Securing Your Dream Home
Bidding is intense. The number? Don't lowball crazy. You lose. Don't waste money. Ask. "What will buy it?." I might not tell you the exact number, but I will guide you. "If you offer $400k, you will miss out." Listen to the hints.
Put it in writing. Just saying a price are weak. Written offer money talks. You are a buyer. The owner sees it. They are more likely to accept. Do it.
If you lose, don't give up. More houses come. Use the lesson. Were you too slow? Be faster. You learn. Persist. Success will come. Call Brad Smith. I want to give you the keys. It is the best feeling. Let's buy.
