continued______ you think. For one, stay away fromadjustable rate mortgages. As interest rates climb, so will yourpayments. This isn't a fun thing to see while your home value isdecreasing. Next, get a copy of your amortization chart fromyour lender, which shows how much of each payment is interestand how much is principle. The principle is usually a very smallamount compared to the interest, in the earlier years. Take nextmonths' principle and add it to this months' payment and it willactually knock one months' payment off the life of your loan!You will have to request a new amortization chart when you makeyour next payment because your loan will be re-amortized. If youare a first time homebuyer, put down as big of a down payment asyou can. Buying an overpriced home with a small down paymentleaves you vulnerable to a downturn in housing prices. Without abig down payment you should consider renting for a while, unlessyou can get a house at a steep discount. The best way I know ofto buy a house at a steep discount is to buy foreclosures.Foreclosures offer the best chance of buying a house at a steepdiscount and therefore protect yourself from any downfall inprice.
