Getting a home loan/mortgage isn't always tough., what matters is how well you can manage it. There are people who have somehow qualified for a mortgage but sooner or later they have found themselves in a mess! So, first and foremost, you need to check your home loan affordability and then look out for programs on offer, list affordability factors which will help to decide whether it's time for you to take out a mortgage.

Pay and avoid

idea posted by Pankaj Gautam Client Servicing/Key Account Manager, ICICI Bank
Have you taken out credit cards, personal loans or an auto loan? If you have high interest credit cards, consider paying them down and avoid using more than 10% of your cards' limit at any given time. However, if you are debt-free, you can possibly go for a bigger mortgage depending upon other factors.

Cash Reserves

idea posted by Omkar Bapat Client Servicing/Key Account Manager, HDFC Bank
I think most lenders will require you to have cash reserves/savings equal to at least 6 months of mortgage payments apart from what you'll pay for closing costs and down payment. However, not all programs require this but it's better to have some cash reserves so that in case there's an emergency you don't miss a payment and bring down your credit score.

Invest Consulting an Investment Expert

idea posted by Mohit Sethi Account Manager, ABN Amro
My idea is, you may like to invest in stocks, bonds, and mix and match options to build up a strong portfolio. However, investment options are subjected to market risks, so it's worth consulting an investment expert in order to get maximum returns. An estimate of such returns will help you decide whether it's worth investing or getting a mortgage.
