Make sure your finances are in order before buying a new home
Buying a waterfront home in the Wilmington area is a dream
come true for many – the spectacular coastal area offers so many choices for
the type and location of waterfront property.
From luxurious, low-maintenance condominiums on the beach with
incredible ocean vistas to sprawling estates on many acres with private boat
docks and access to navigable creeks, the Wilmington market has it all. Looking
for Wilmington NC waterfront homes for sale has never been this easier.
The David Benford Group has been assisting local and
relocating buyers and sellers since the late 1980’s and all our brokers live
here and know about life on the water.
Luxury homebuyers don’t usually have to worry about financing in the
same way that first-time buyers do, but a few reminders about that side of the
transaction can be helpful:
Cash-flow: If you are
planning to place a mortgage on your property, the banks will need to see
liquid assets for down-payment and will take personal cash-flow into
consideration. If you choose to pay cash
for the property, consulting your financial advisor about tax ramifications and
timing for withdrawing funds from certain
types of accounts is crucial.
New Mortgage Guidelines:
Even a seasoned investor can have a difficult time keeping up with all
the new regulations and guidelines governing the mortgage industry. The Brokers of the David Benford Group have
close working relationships with local and national lenders to stay current and
offer you the best choices for financing.
New programs such as “bank statement only” loans may also be a better
alternative to paying cash, so seeking professional advice ahead of your
purchase is important.
