Real estate is a seemingly complex topic to navigate. For any current or future homeowners, there is much to learn and understand about real estate. We’re going to jump into a couple of general tips and knowledge points about owning property that you should know.
Let’s start with mortgages. Banks give prospective homeowners a mortgage when they feel comfortable enough to hand that responsibility to them based on the money they make and their current employment.
This mortgage is a set amount of money they lend you so that you can move forward with purchasing a home. Remember that paying off your mortgage means making a down payment, then paying the remaining amount over time. This must be done at a consistent rate.
Now, let’s dive into the concept of equity. Equity is the difference between what your home is worth and how much money you currently owe for the property. It’s important to note that the down payment you set for your mortgage does not count toward equity, so do not include it in the equation.
