Buying a house can be a fantastic investment. But you want to be smart about it.

Don't just buy as much house as a bank will offer you — ensure that you will be able to afford the monthly payments with plenty left offer. If the monthly mortgage payments will be more than your current rent, think very carefully before making the purchase to determine if you'll be able to afford the increased payments.

When ready to buy, check out the mortgage providers here to find the best rates possible — and potentially reduce your monthly payments by a few hundred dollars.
