How can I save money on my home purchase?
Any thoughts on how I can save money on the house we are purchasing? We are first-time home buyers, getting a 3/1 ARM, requesting seller assist for closing, 100% financing. What can I do to save money? Are there any courses I can attend or programs that I can join?

Absolutley free information is available through the state housing development authority or state housing agency. You may be able to qualify for a variety of programs to save you money on the rate or get down payment assistance.

BE CAREFUL with the ARM loan. If you plan on living in the property for more than 4 years, you could get into a bad situation if rates go up. (As they are expected to do.)
