Lenders and doctors have one thing in common, it's in your best interest to be as transparent with them as possible to get the most from their services. If you received money as a gift to help with your down payment, let your lender know, and save a paper trail of the transaction to show them. Gift funds are allowed in most cases as long as the gift didn't come from anyone with a stake in the transaction and isn't a loan that needs to be repaid, but if you just have a large influx of funds in your bank that can't be accounted for, it could delay your mortgage.

If you're saving $500 a month for a down payment, it could take 15 years or more to save enough to put 20% down in this market. On this , we're here to let you know you could own a home in less time than you might think with low to no down payment programs.

Picture this—whether or not you have kids of your own, you can still reap the rewards of a flourishing public school system.

It's just one more reason to prioritize a quality education system when searching for your home.

So you finally found your dream home this summer. 🎉 Here's some essential moving tips to help you prepare for your big move:

1. Start early: Begin planning and organizing in advance. Create a timeline and checklist to stay on track.

2. Declutter and donate: Moving is the perfect opportunity to downsize and declutter. Donate or sell items you no longer need, making your new home feel fresh and clutter-free.

3. Pack smart: Use color-coded labels or numbered boxes to identify contents and rooms. This will save you time and effort when unpacking at your new place.

4. Notify key contacts: Remember to update your address with important contacts, such as your bank, insurance provider, and utility companies. It ensures a smooth transition without any interruption to your services.

5. Settle the essentials first: Unpack the essentials first, such as bedding, toiletries, and kitchen essentials. Having these items readily available will make your first night in the new place more comfortable.

6. Take care of yourself: Moving can be physically and mentally exhausting. Remember to take breaks, stay hydrated, and prioritize self-care during the process.

Happy moving!
