You’ve decided you’d like to purchase a home in the near future. What do you do now to be able to buy later?  Our advice: Be S.M.A.R.T: Rent only as long as it takes to save the money for a down payment, reduce your debts and improve your credit score. Prepare, plan and execute!

Purchasing S.M.A.R.T. means you took all of these wealth-building factors into consideration:

• Savings
• Make Your Deal Upfront
• Appreciation
• Resale Value
• Tax Advantages - Know them!  Before December 1, 2009 earn a $8000  Tax Credit
