  1. Considering whether the "American Dream" of owning a home should be a goal for you.
  2. Preparing for your new mortgage payment by practicing making the paymentwhile you are still a renter.
  3. Getting to know your market and starting your search online. HGTV may haveyou disillusioned as to what you can get in your area.

Access to Motley Fool Wealth Management is only available to MFWM clients pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement and acceptance of our Client Relationship Summary and Brochure (Form ADV, Parts 2A and 2B). You are encouraged to read these documents carefully. All investments involve risk and may lose money. MFWM does not guarantee the results of any of its advice or account management. Clients should be aware that their individual account results may not exactly match the performance of the Model Portfolios. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Each Personal Portfolio is subject to an account minimum, which varies based on the strategies included in the portfolio. MFWM retains the right to revise or modify portfolios and strategies if it believes such modifications would be in the best interests of its clients.

During discussions with our financial planners, they may provide advice with respect to 401(k) rollovers into accounts that are managed by MFWM. Such recommendations pose potential conflicts of interest in that rolling retirement savings into an MFWM managed account will generate ongoing asset-based fees for MFWM that it would not otherwise receive.
