Buying your first home can seem somewhat intimidating. As a long time expert in the Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Suwanee, Duluth and Gwinnett County area, it's my job to take you through the process, from beginning to end. 

I will take the time to go through each and every step of the buying process. There are no dumb questions! 

Together, we will consider: 

- How much can you really afford?

- How much cash you should put down. 

- How to buy a home with little or nothing down. 

- What it takes to get approved for financing. What banks and other financial institutions are looking for. 

- How much your payments will be. 

- The tax advantages of buying. 

- Is renting or buying better for you? 

Tell me a bit about your situation below. I'll get right back to you. There is absolutely no charge, and I offer this to you with no strings attached.

Financing Your Home >Mortgage Terms

New mortgage loan products offer a more complex selection of terms. Lenders now offer mortgages that are blends of short-term ARMs and 30-year fixed-rate loans with a lower fixed-rate of interest for a period of five, seven or ten years. Be sure that you understand what happens at the end of the initial term before you sign on the dotted line for such a loan.

Many of these loans revert to a 1-year adjustable rate loan at the end of the initial term and can be adjusted once a year based on an index tied to the cost of money. You should know how much over the index your rate will be set and the limit or cap on how much your payments can increase. A "balloon" note requires the entire balance to be paid to the lender after the initial period of the loan ends. Most of these loans require the lender to guarantee to refinance the note at that point if payments have been timely. The lender should spell out how the re-finance rate will be determined and what costs will be involved. These loans can help you buy a more expensive house than you could afford with a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, but be sure that you understand the terms and the potential risks.
