At some point in time, after working for several years, you would decide to buy a home for yourself. With the better financing strategies available now, renting a home and buying one can be similar in terms of your monthly payments.

For first home buyers this is definitely good news because anyone with a steady stream of income can certainly own a home. The problem is that there are many factors to consider when buying a home. You should consider your changing job situation, maybe you will marry and have kids of your own, and these are the things that you have to take into account.

Chances are that these situations will not stay as they are for 15 to 30 more years. Since most mortgages are in this range, in 15 to 30 years time things will change, some for the better and some for the worse. For first home buyers, it is important to think that things can go wrong.

You could lose your job or you could have more kids than you planned for, or maybe a debilitating condition that will stop you from earning. These are the situations that you should be prepared for. What should you do when everything goes wrong? Since you know that your monthly mortgage payments will continue to go on even when these things have already happened.

 You never know when these things would happen and test you. If you are not ready for these things to happen then it is a possibility that you are going to lose your home.

A problem for first home buyers is that when they found the home that they want is they buy it and extend their finances. This is not a very wise decision because when everything starts to go wrong you have no more savings left that you can turn to.

A wise choice would be to buy a home that is within your budget. Then whenever you have extra you can get insurance policy to cover any accidents or illness that can happen, this way you do not need to shell out extra cash when accidents or illnesses happen.

You have to understand that many things can happen unexpectedly, some for the good and some for the worse. First home buyers should always be prepared either way, when everything goes wrong or otherwise.
