Creating Your BUDGET

(These are the thoughts of CapitIL Sales Director Ben Levene.)

Dear Readers,

In the market today, getting your budget right is very important for a few different reasons.

Firstly, it is very important to know how much money you can spend. I stress to my clients who are either people without unlimited money, who are not bringing the money from America, or who are not buying in cash, that unless you are very comfortable with your finances and know that you can raise the money, getting a mortgage in principle approved gives you the ability to know what you can spend and work out your budget.

Remember, most of the time the purchase fees of 12.5 percent plus (taxes, agent fees, lawyers etc.) cannot be added to the mortgage and must be funded differently.

No one wants to see properties that are 10 million shekel if you can only afford 7 million.

It is not fair on you and there is no need to go through the emotional process of finding exactly what you are looking for, but not being able to stretch the money.

We strongly advise looking at your mortgages at the time you start looking to buy. What does this process look like?

Firstly, speak to friends and family who have finances in Israel and ask them how they bought their house. Did they take the money from the states?

Did they take an Israeli mortgage? If they took an Israeli mortgage, how did they do it?
