I'll get better value by buying the least-expensive home in a sought-after neighborhood rather than the best home in a less-popular one.

If I hire a buyer's agent, I'll have to pay that agent's fee if he or she helps me buy a home.

Taking a fixed-rate mortgage is always the best way to finance a home purchase.

I can take a tax deduction for mortgage loan points for my main home, even if they're paid by the seller.

Since I don't have kids, the quality of local schools are not important when choosing a neighborhood to live in.

I should make a final walk-through inspection of the home I'm purchasing the same day as settlement or closing, if possible.

It makes sense to buy furnishings now for the home I'm in the process of purchasing, so I can move in and get settled fast, once the deal is closed.

The title insurance policy my lender insists that I buy will protect my interests should someone make a claim on my home down the road.

Getting the best interest rate is the most important consideration when choosing a mortgage loan.
