BEFORE YOU MAKE AN OFFER
Review estimated payments with your lender, property-specific insurance quotes, taxes, association costs and cash reserves. A planning calculator is a starting point, not loan approval.
Review disclosures, permits and association documents. Arrange inspections suited to the actual property. An appraisal does not replace a home inspection.
Allow for inspections, financing, closing and possession. For a military move, confirm reporting and access with your sponsor and keep temporary housing in the plan.
