7 tips to save for down payment and buy your house

Buying a home is not only an exciting goal, it's also a big financial responsibility. One of the biggest challenges for many buyers is raising the money for the downpayment, but it's not impossible! With discipline, organization and the following tips, you can start building your way to homeownership:

1. Define your savings goal: Calculate how much you need based on the type of loan and the average price of the home you want.

2. Open an account exclusively for your savings: This will help you keep money separate and avoid spending it by mistake.

3. Automate your savings: Schedule automatic monthly transfers to your savings account.

4. Cut unnecessary expenses: Analyze your subscriptions, outings and non-essential purchases . It all adds up.

5. Generate extra income: Whether it's freelance, internet sales or a second  temporary job, any additional income can speed up the process.

6. Use your bonuses, tax refunds or gifts wisely: Instead of  spending them, put them directly into your downpayment fund.

7. Avoid new debt: Watch your credit score and don't go into debt while  you're saving.
