What is the difference between joint tenants and tenants-in-common?

Despite the wording, both mean you are an owner of the property. If there are two or more people buying a property, you can “own” the property in the two above ways. Joint tenants essentially means that you each own 100% of the property. If something were to happen to one of you, the other person is entitled to the interest in the property. As tenants-in-common, you each own a certain percentage, i.e. 50% each or 25%/75%. With tenants-in-common, your will, or intestate laws, shall dictate where your interest in the property would go.

Do I qualify as a first time home buyer?

To qualify as a first time home buyer, you must not have owned property anywhere in the world. There are a few additional requirements that may affect your ability to qualify as a first time buyer.

I am purchasing and need to arrange movers the day of closing. When can I anticipate getting keys?

Closing can happen earlier in the day, at 10 AM and even as late as 5 PM. I always recommend that you make arrangements accordingly. There are various factors in play. We always try to close as early as we can, but it truly depends.
