Last week, we talked about the first four steps to take when buying a home . You can view in-depth descriptions of each of these steps on our blog from last week, but here's a quick summary of what we talked about: Step 1: Start Your Research Step 2: Get Prequalified or Preapproved Step 3: Hire A Real Estate Agent Step 4: Tour Homes Taking these steps will build the foundation for a fun and successful home search at the Lake of the Ozarks . Once you've completed these four steps, it's time to get started on the remaining five. Step 5: Make An Offer Once you have found a home you love, it's time to make an offer on it. There are no rules governing the type of offer you can make - you can offer full asking price, or you can offer a few thousand dollars less. Your real estate agent can help you strategize on what would be a good offer and what (if any) additional items to include in your offer (such as furniture pieces that may have been left in the home).

People refinance their homes for a lot of reasons. Most commonly, refinancing is used to readjust the terms of the mortgage loan (such as shortening or extending it) or to get a lower interest rate. One thing most people don't think about when refinancing, though, is the impact it will have on their title insurance policies . If you're thinking about refinancing your home at the Lake of the Ozarks , here is some important information to keep in mind. Refinancing - It's Still A Home Loan When you refinance your home, you are essentially taking out a new loan to pay off the original loan in full. Because you are taking out a brand new loan, you will have to undergo the same process (and cover the same costs) that you did when you originally purchased your home. For example, you will probably need to... Purchase a professional appraisal of your property Cover the closing costs associated with the loan Purchase a lender's title policy to protect the lender
