"HUD’s position now is that it will use the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) definition of service animal to assess reasonable accommodation complaints under the Fair Housing Act. Under the ADA, a service animal “is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability.” HUD’s new guidance means that the department no longer considers the emotional support, well-being, comfort, and companionship that an animal provides to qualify its owner for a Fair Housing Act-required reasonable accommodation."

Think you need a perfect credit score to buy a home? Not true! ✅

While higher scores may get you better rates, many loan programs accept a range of credit scores. Plus, lenders often help you find ways to improve your score before applying.

The bottom line: perfect credit isn’t required to become a homeowner. 🙌
