Portsmouth NH Homes Condos Real Estate

Looking to buy a home or condo in the Portsmouth NH area? 

Make sure you start off by getting a written pre-approval letter from a professional lender.

Now that you've found the perfect Portsmouth home or condo, it's time to make your mortgage application.  Here's what you'll need to get together for your lender so you can provide him or her complete information to get your home mortgage in the works:

--  one month's worth of pay check stubs;
--  your last 2 years' of your W-2 forms;
--  your most recent 2-3 months' of bank account statements;
--  account numbers and contact information on all credit cards and outstanding loans;
--  child support and/or alimony payments, if applicable;
--  your last 2 years' of tax returns, if you're self-employed.

This information is necessary to process your request for a Portsmouth NH home or condo mortgage, so the more documentation you can provide up front, the smoother and more stress-free your real estate purchase and mortgage process will be.  If your lender requests additional informtation, do your best to get that information back as quickly as you can.  Keep the process flowing and don't cause unnecessary delays by not providing what's asked for or by challenging your lender's need for certain information or documentation.

Here are some other tips to pay heed to while you're in the homebuying process:

Living in a small space certainly has its challenges and rewards.  A small mess in a large home is a huge mess in small space.  One needs to be a neat freak in small spaces. 

Counter tops need to be kept clear since space is at a minimum; attach those appliances to the underside of your cabinets.  Don't underestimate the amount of storage you need. An entire wall of closets, cabinets and drawers can go a long way. 

Here are some helpful hints for your small space in your Portsmouth NH home or condo:
