by Jim Johnson

When getting a home mortgage loan, it's easy to make mistakes that can cost you in the long run. And since you are dealing with such a large amounts of money, the mistakes can be very expensive. However, a little forethought can usually help you avoid these mistakes and pitfalls that many borrowers make.

1. A very common home mortgage loan mistake is trying to qualify for the absolute biggest loan that a person possibly can. Although there are general guidelines that most lenders follow in order to qualify consumers for a loan, the sad truth is that they will often bend these guidelines greatly in order to write the mortgage. The feeling among many lenders is that they are confident that most consumers will sacrifice on almost all other expenses in order to still be able to make their mortgage payments. Since lenders are not going to exercise restraint with regard to the mortgage loan you can qualify for, you will need to exercise that kind of restraint for yourself instead. So avoid this very expensive mistake by establishing a budget for your entire home expenses that does not exceed more than 25% to 30% of your monthly income.

2. Some mistakes that are made on your credit history can be very costly when you go to get your home mortgage loan as well. Here is where your credit score can cost you very dearly if you haven't maintained it at the highest level possible. So well before you intend to buy a new home, run your credit history and remove any errors that you find there so you can get your credit score as high as possible to be able to get the best mortgage loan rates and terms that you can. This one simple act can save you many thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.
