3. Always buy the house that you can afford:

If you don’t have enough saving/funds to buy a home for yourself and are looking for a mortgage company to pay then think twice before going for anything that you cannot afford. Because the more inexpensive your house is the more easy payments you can make even with less income. So calculate the best ratio that may suit you according to your sources.

This is also important thing to consider your neighborhood and see how other houses in area look? Take a walk! Go a few blocks in every direction and see what there is to see. How do the houses look? What's happening in their yards? Are they newly being built or refined ones? And also have a look at crime or robbery incident ratings of that area.

5. Proximity/Closeness to your Work and Schools:

6. Look for Long-term value of House:

Make sure you are actually paying the market price of the home you wish to buy. Then try to explore the ways to add more value to it. If circumstances occur you can resell it in the best available price to avoid any financial loss.

7. Don’t buy the best house in the Area:

Honestly speaking it is good for you to buy an average house on the block rather than the best. Since you may not afford the best one. However you can add some value to your average house by renovating it even with smaller amount.
