Sure, interest rates are low right now—which can help with affordability. Just be careful not to let that pressure you into buying a house when you aren’t really ready. A super low interest rate on a house you can’t afford is still a bad deal. So remember to stick to our advice on monthly payment limit, down payment amount and mortgage type (see Trend #2) and you’ll be in great shape! If interest rates stay low, buyers will be more motivated to buy your home sooner than later. But if interest rates do start to increase later in the year, just plan for your house to be on the market a little longer. If you don’t plan on moving anytime soon, you might still be able to take advantage of these super low interest rates and shorten your payment schedule by refinancing your mortgage.

Document all communication between you and the landlord. Emails and text messages are good ways to document any correspondence. Even if you have a good relationship with your landlord, you should always take the necessary steps to protect yourself in case things get ugly. (And things can get ugly quickly.) Verbal promises are hard to prove in court. Get to know your neighbors. This may not seem like an important tip, but your neighbors can be valuable sources of information. Your neighbor probably knows the area well, and could recommend to you a good dentist, auto body shop, or local restaurant. Also, your neighbor may know your landlord and the previous tenants of the house. It could be important to learn about your landlord’s history with tenants, especially if the landlord consistently fails to repair the property.
