5 factors to consider
when buying a home
Property taxes will usually be factored into a monthly mortgage
payment, and how high (or low) taxes are can turn an affordable
mortgage payment into something that can break a budget. When
calculating payments, be sure to include property taxes in your
estimates.

2: Job security/availability
The financial resource Fortune Builder says to consider your
job security before taking the home ownership plunge. Before
committing to an investment as substantial as a home, ensure that
you are secure in your job. Similarly, if you are relocating for job
prospects, verify that the new location has a thriving job market.

3: Local schools
For potential homeowners with children or those planning on
becoming parents, area schools should merit significant consider-
ation. Research school rankings and reviews, but know that rank-
ings can change. American Family Insurance Company says to
also look at the school budget history of towns you’re consider-
ing to see if residents prioritize funding for education. This can be
a measure of how important education is in a given community.
