I'm sure you've heard that interest rates are at an all time low, and you're probably wondering, is now a good time to buy. For many people the answer is absolutely yes, and I will give you five questions you should ask yourself to determine if you should be buying right now. 

Question 1: Do you have stable employment and have great reason to believe that your income will remain stable or increase in the next several years?

Question 2: Do you have down payment money already saved?

Question 3: Do you have a credit score that is at least 580?

Question 4: Are you looking to stay in a home for at least 5 years?

Question 5: Are you currently paying rent and feel like you're throwing your money away?
