Get Homegrown Wisdom Before Buying Your First Home

Maybe your parents were right…

You know those moments—the ones when you realize that your parents were right? Make them work in your favor when you’re considering buying your first home.

It’s a big decision, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Chances are, Mom and Dad remember what it was like—and they have some wisdom to share.

How to start the conversation? Try a few simple questions, like:

• How did you save money for the down payment on your first home?
• How did you know you were ready to buy your first home?
• What motivated you to buy your first home?

And while you're at it, why not remind them of that promotion you earned at work or the birthday you have coming up? Gifts are a great source of funds for a down payment, and who knows—maybe Great-Great Uncle Otis left you a little cash, and they've been hanging onto it until the right moment.
