Now for tip #2, get pre-approved for a mortgage and know your limit. You do not want to fall head over heels for a home only to find out you cannot afford it. Ask for your spending cap then let your Realtor® know your limit. There are a
variety of programs available to Realtors® specifically designed at searching listings using client criteria.

Generally speaking, a mortgage is a loan obtained to purchase real estate. The “mortgage” itself is a lien (a legal claim) on the home or property that secures the promise to pay the debt. All mortgages have two features in common: principal and interest. I checked the interest rates today at the East Coast Credit Union ( 902-295-3477 ) and the Royal Bank( 902 295 2224 ), both located on the main street called Chebucto Street. Rates are competitive; you should consult a mortgage specialist to determine your needs. Ask about accelerated payments and if you may pay a lump sum on the anniversary date of the mortgage, that is applied directly to the princple as some lending institutions allow this option.

When you are pre-approved for a mortgage you can shop with confidence. Issues to discuss at this point are penalties
of paying off your mortgage early, current mortgage rates and closing costs. You should also find a lawyer and ask what he/she will charge to act on your behalf. Typically they will charge a fee plus disbursements. The disbursements can add up quickly so get an estimate of the total cost of their services.
