3 Key Ways To Save Up For Your Down Payment

Saving money at any time of the year is difficult, let alone after the holiday season. After spending hundreds of dollars on gifts for loved ones, here are a few tips you can use to save up for your down payment.

Transfer A Fixed Amount Of Money Into A Special Bank Account Each Month.

Before you think about applying for a loan, open a new bank account designated for your down payment funds. Each month, deposit a fixed amount into this savings account, and don’t touch the money. You can even set up automatic payment, so you do not forget to deposit the money. After a while, these deposits will add up and contribute a large sum towards your down payment. If you start saving up now, you will worry less later.

Skip Vacations For a Year.

While relaxation time is important, sometimes in life you need to sacrifice for things you want. If you’re struggling with saving money, avoid taking costly trips for a year.

Cut Out Unnecessary Expenses.

Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime are great streaming services, but the monthly fees add up after a while. When preparing to apply for a loan, cut out unnecessary expenses to save extra money. Add up your finances and see where your money is going each month. Figure out what your necessity and splurge purchases are.

Follow these tips and you’ll have more money to use towards your down payment. Once you decide to apply for a loan, contact one of our professional loan officers. We will be more than happy to assist you through the mortgage application process.
