Even if you're crunched for time, doing small cleaning tasks around the house can have a big effect.

Looking to build your savings? Start by cutting out your smaller expenses.

Are you aware of the truth behind mortgages, or have you believed any of these top #MortgageMyths? Here’s your chance to test what you know: MYTH 1: Getting pre-qualified is the same as getting pre-approved.... Nope! Pre-qualified means you took a couple minutes to fill out a questionnaire about your financial situation. However, getting pre-approved takes much longer and involves a lender to analyze your financial status. It must be completed before you purchase a house. MYTH 2: I need a credit score of at least 600 to purchase a property. Actually, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) requires a score of 580. And you can also use a co-signer to help with your chances of being approved. However, your home buying process will be much easier if you do have a good credit score, so try to still be diligent about payments and loans! MYTH 3: You need to put 25% down on a house. While this was true years ago, in today’s era, you can get a loan for as little as 5%. Or, if you qualify for an FHA or Veteran’s Administration (VA) loan, you could pay as little as 0% to 3.5% down.

A little tip for homebuyers trying to navigate through the holiday season: don’t give up hope in finding your #dreamhome! The holiday season, though no doubt hectic, is actually a great time to buy a house. There is little competition so sellers will be much more willing to discuss with you. This means a relatively smoother time scoring the house of your dreams!
