Six costly mistakes by homebuyers

According to CNN.com, these are the six of the biggest mistakes made by homebuyers:

1) Not knowing your credit score
2) Buying a car before a house
3) Skimping on home inspections
4) NOT HIRING A LAWYER
5) Signing a contract with no contingencies (hiring a lawyer before you sign the contract will solve this problem)
6) Not budgeting for insurance

Most people know that they need a lawyer to represent them when they are selling their home, but buyers also need representation.  The relatively small fee the lawyer charges could save a buyer thousands of dollars and headaches.
