🏡 Thinking about buying your first home? Here’s where to start!
The journey to homeownership begins with one simple step — talking to a lender. They’ll review your full financial picture: your income, credit score, and savings to help you understand what you can comfortably afford.
💡 Here’s what you need to know:
📊 DTI (Debt-to-Income Ratio) — This shows how much you earn each month compared to your existing debts. It’s a key factor lenders look at!
💳 Credit Score — A score around 620 is ideal, but some programs accept as low as 580. The higher your score, the better your interest rate and options!
💰 Savings — Plan for 3–5% of the purchase price, plus a little extra for closing costs. And you may qualify for grants or assistance programs!
📁 Be Prepared — Have your documents ready and get guidance early. Knowledge is your biggest advantage!
🎓 Still have questions? We created a webinar just for you — learn at your own pace and walk away feeling clear, confident, and ready!
