Homebuyer's Financial Worksheet
This worksheet is designed to help you answer two important questions: how much should you save and how much can you spend? The section on saving is intended for first-time buyers to get an idea of what it will take to save for a down payment and closing costs. First-time buyers should complete both sections. At the end of the first section, you will use the amount you determined in the second section and the amounts you determined in the first section to calculate your savings goals.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This worksheet will only give you an idea of what you can afford. You must consult a mortgage lender afterwards to get a more precise estimate.
In the meantime, keep saving your money!!!
