Tips to Better Property Searches

Keep your searches small. Asking the system to find properties under $300,000.00 island wide would produce a list the size of a small dictionary and would take hours to load and print.Confining your searches to specific tax map key sections will produce manageable sized printouts that are easily organized. Go to the Tax Map Key page to locate zone and section locations on the map or the Maps page to view other information such as school locations, utility services, hazard zones, and rain fall by area.

Get prequalified. Looking for property without being prequalified is like writing checks without knowing your balance.The process is simple, painless, free, and can be done over the phone with any bank or mortgage lender nation wide. It’s simply a matter of adding up your income, subtracting your monthly expenses, using the balance to determine what you can afford and adding your cash down payment to that amount to determine what you can spend.
