There are plenty of obvious tools to measure how ready you are to buy a house financially. Do you have a down payment? Do you have a savings account? Have you spoken with realtors at www.leveragere.com? And all these indicators will also tell you how much house you can buy. However, owning a home is a whole other thing than simply buying a home. Purchasing real estate is only the first step. So how can you tell if you're responsible enough to own a house? Budget The number one indicator of a responsible person is how disciplined they are with their money. Your bills should be paid on time, your play money should be a reasonable proportion to your income, and you shouldn't have the reputation among your friends to always be "a little short on cash." No matter how fantastic your first home is, it always comes with a laundry list of costs. There is no landlord to pin it on now. You are your own master, and by golly it feels great! Tidiness Look around you. Are your dishes growing mold in the sink? Does your shower drain? Is your laundry basket also your dresser? When you're renting, you can afford to be a little sloppy. However, your sloppiness will come back to bite you hard when you own the place. Dirtiness can attract pests, damage your home, and ultimately decrease the value of your house. There's nothing like having your own home to make you want to improve. A Garden Okay, you don't need to be able to support yourself on the food you grow or appear in any magazines for prettiest orchids in order to qualify, but if you notice on all the properties on www.leveragere.com, all the homes come with at least a little yard, and the yards are well-maintained. It's not difficult to pull out the lawn mower during the sunny months, and responsible homeowners do it.
