Before You Start Your Las Vegas or Henderson Home and Condo Search:

Research the financing basics and shop for the right home loan. Not every home loan works for every home buyer, so get all the information before getting locked in to financing.

Apply for pre-approval. It is quick and easy, and gives you an idea of a suitable price range for a Las Vegas area condo or home.

Decide what is important to you in a home. Buying a home quickly and at a low price does you no good if after closing the deal you realize that it is not the home you want. Before you start shopping, decide what you are looking for, considering the necessary repairs, commute time to work, and size of the home.

Minimize your debt. Making major purchases, having outstanding credit card balances, and applying for more credit are all bad ideas when looking to buy a home. Your gross monthly income is a primary factor when financial institutions evaluate your finances, and the general rule is that no more than 28 percent of your monthly income should include house costs.

Before You Buy a Home or Condo in Henderson or Las Vegas:

Submit a strong competitive offer.

Include the highest possible deposit (within reason). It is not unheard of for a seller to accept an offer based on a large deposit.

Keep contingencies to a minimum. Fewer contingencies make your offer stronger.

Hire a home inspector. Professional building inspectors and appraisers are trained to ensure that the house is in satisfactory condition

Check zoning regulations and covenants. To make sure the area fits your lifestyle, read all restrictions and zoning regulations so there are no surprises.

Obtain an updated property survey. Knowing the exact location of boundaries can be crucial in avoiding problems.

Be certain what is included in the sale. The contract should clearly list what appliances and other items come with the home.

GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING. Verbal agreements leave room for disputes.
