My name is Jim Cadwalader, welcome to how to buy a home.com. I am the Principal Broker with Clayton, Rae, & James Realty Group and I have been helping people buy homes in the Indianapolis area for 10+ years. During that time I have worked with over 350 clients with sales totaling more than 45 million dollars. That is where I gained the experience and knowledge necessary to help you learn how to buy a home.

Now that's enough about me, let's talk about you! If you are thinking of buying a home, that means you are getting ready to spend A LOT OF MONEY. For 1st time home buyer, it is probably more money than you have ever spent before in your entire life. Doesn't it make sense to take the time to learn everything you can about the purchase you are about to make?

• How much house can I buy?

• Which loan is best for me? (They come in all shapes and sizes)

• What's for sale where I want to live?

• How much are closing costs and who pays them?

• Do I have to have Mortgage Insurance? (And what is it???)

• What are discount points and origination fees?

• When do I inspect the property? What happens if we find something wrong?

• What are the smartest things to do to prepare for a home purchase?

• When should I be doing them?
