You’ve Bought Your House – Now What
Escrow has closed, the title is in your name, and the hassle of moving is finally over. While you may feel like the home buying process is behind you, it’s not. Now comes the onslaught of mailers, solicitations, and tempting offers geared toward new homeowners, who are typically trying to rebuild their finances. How has your mailbox become a receptacle for these solicitations? Because your home purchase is a matter of public record. There are many things you can do – and not do, for that matter – to get back on solid financial ground. Of course there are the obvious things: stay on top of your mortgage payments; try to avoid any major purchases, like a new vehicle; and make sure you have adequate homeowners insurance.
• Keep saving and restrict spending.
• Consider electronic mortgage payments.
• Rebuild any emergency reserve you depleted.
• Ignore offers for mortgage insurance.
• Don’t be tempted by offers for faster payoff.
• Review your tax assessment.
• Consider refinancing.
• Keep your receipts.
• Ignore solicitations to homestead
