Realtor.com® predicts 2015 will be the year of the first-time home buyer — because job growth next year should drive Millennials back into the housing market . Many of them have some misguided ideas about mortgages. First-time buyers often mistakenly believe these myths about mortgage lending:
- Lending requirements are still too tight. (Actually, mortgage standards have been easing dramatically.)
- It's not necessary to check your credit before embarking on the mortgage process.
- "Preapproved" and "prequalified" are interchangeable terms.
- You should wait until after choosing a home before talking to a lender.
- You must have a 20 percent down payment.
- You should focus your home search solely on your wants.
- You do not need a home inspection.
