If you’re getting ready to buy a home, you may be worried about things like student loans and credit scores, which can feel overwhelming. By taking simple steps like setting up a budget and working to pay off other debt, you could own a home even quicker than you think.
By a Budget
If you feel like you’re asking yourself where your money has gone every month, chances are, you aren’t sticking to a written budget. Setting up a budget guarantees that every dollar you make is given a purpose. Once this budget is in place, you’ll be able to start directing your money toward necessary expenses. By doing this, you’ll quickly realize just how much you’re spending on things like going out to eat or personal recreation. By balancing out your budget, you’ll be able to spread your income further.
Deal with Debt
When you’re getting ready to save for a home, knocking out your other debts first will help you save exponentially faster. Think about it like this: if you have a minimum $500 student loan monthly payment, putting everything you can find into that debt will allow you to free up all of that extra money plus the $500, which you can in turn put towards any other debt or your savings for a down payment.
Make Your Move
Now that you’ve got a handle on what to do with your money, it’s time to meet other like-minded individuals who have the same goal. Check out Lennar’s Make Your Move workshop on financially preparing for homeownership on March 10th. The “OWN your Finances and Your Home” event will include a social happy hour so you can meet other young professionals in Tampa Bay, and a panel of experts will be there to discuss key insights on budgeting, special programs for first time home buyers, the home loan process and how to truly own your finances. From the first budget you make to the first time you unlock your new home, Lennar’s innovative Make Your Move program will be with you every step of your homebuying journey. For dynamic events featuring an expert panel and an opportunity to speak with other young professionals going through the same journey, be sure to check out the Make Your Move workshop series.
There are many reasons why Camas has become such a desirable city for families in the Portland and Southwest Washington area. For starters, it’s considered one of Washington States’ safest cities and hosts some of its most well-regarded schools, which makes it a great setting for young couples and growing families.
Camas is nestled just north of the Columbia River and east of Vancouver, which offers the best of both worlds: residents appreciate that small-town charm and country setting, but also love the abundance of quality shopping and restaurants. And for even more opportunities, downtown Portland is just 20 miles away – and both downtown Vancouver and Portland International Airport are convenient located just 14 miles away.
And within this quickly growing town is Green Mountain by Lennar, a masterplan unlike anything in the Clark County area that paves the way for a unique lifestyle. Set in a beautiful location surrounded by greenery, Green Mountain provides residents with exciting amenities right at their fingertips, so they can discover their best life right at home.
The community’s crown jewel is a 14.1-acre central park with amenities for the whole family. Grab a ball and round up the neighbors because this park offers both a basketball court and a volleyball grass court for a friendly game. Take your lunch outdoors or host your kid’s next birthday party here with a picnic shelter with tables. Your little ones will love the play structure where they can burn off some energy and meet up with the other neighborhood kids after school.
You’ll also be inspired to stay active with a regional trail system that passes right through the community. And on those glorious summer days, enjoy a little rest and recreation at the community clubhouse which boasts a refreshing pool. The beauty of living in a masterplanned community is that it was designed for the modern family and today’s lifestyles, which is why there’s also something to do and something new to explore at Green Mountain.
Starting from the low $400s, Lennar offers eight single and two-story floorplans ranging from approximately 1,747 to 2,634 square feet of living space, including three to four bedrooms and two to three bathrooms.
