Some didn't think it was possible that San Clemente real estate could ever go lower than a half-million dollars, but the current market environment has seen a small spate of homes open up in this exact price range. What that means for the San Clemente buyer is that he can now become eligible for the deal of a lifetime, whether looking for a real estate investment property or a dream home. However, the fight to get in to a San Clemente home in this price range is not an easy one. One needs to be pre-qualified for the purchase and be ready to make an offer at short notice. The region is not often privy to such deals and they are likely to close as quickly as they opened. In order to get in the running for one of these selections, you must be ready with the following: Solid Credit Score While $300,000 is cheap as far as real estate in this area is concerned, it is still not very likely that one has that kind of money laying around in an account. And with the interest rates currently at all time lows, even if one did, it would still be beneficial to invest in a 30-year mortgage-low payments without touching your retirement nest egg. To take advantage of the low interest rates, however, one thing that will have to be in place is your credit score. From 700 up is considered "good," and it pays greater dividends to rank higher. First, find out what your credit score is; then, work to pay off any outstanding debt. Some is okay, but if you carry $8,000 or more in credit card debt, then you will certainly want to address it before moving forward. Income to Debt Ratio Having a high enough income alone is not enough to get the job done. If you really want to pre-qualify for a home purchase, then you need to make sure that your income to debt ratio is manageable. This ties back in to how you might go about repairing your credit score. School loans and car loans are often acceptable, but if you have charged a large sum of money in consumer products, lenders are likely to think twice about granting you a mortgage. Location Specific Agent Finding a real estate agent that you can trust is a necessity for getting a good deal on a home, but finding one that is trustworthy and that knows the area inside and out is your best bet to nab one of the existing $300,000 deals in the San Clemente area. Once you have these building blocks in place, you are well on your way to securing the deal of a lifetime.
