You have decided that you are tired of living with your parents, your job is going well, and you have been checking out the apartments for sale in Chelsea, NYC for the last few weeks. You think you have found a good one, but you aren’t quite sure what you need to do to make it your very own. Read on below for a few of the things you need, and need to have, in order to buy your first apartment.
Reasonable Credit
The first thing you are going to need before you even get in the door to look at the apartments for sale in Chelsea, NYC is good credit. Sometimes reasonable credit will do, but rarely. If you have a bad or poor credit rating, then you are better off working on that rating and going to find an apartment to buy when it is higher. A good credit rating lets the lender know that you are good to pay your monthly payments every month.
A Hefty Down Payment
Don’t go into buying an apartment under the assumption that you don’t have to put any money down. Not only are you going to have to have a down payment, there will be closing costs, lawyer’s fees, and any other fees that have to be paid as well. Don’t forget to set out a budget as well, so that you know you are able to make ends meet without having to be late on your payments or eating Ramen for a month to meet all your bills.
