Whats the minimum credit score to buy a home?

I don’t have the money for a down payment what are my options?

Don’t worry there are a ton of down payment assistance programs. Some of the best and most popular are ones offered through your state.

I haven’t been at my job for 2 years. Can I buy a home?

Yes you can! We only need a 2 year work history. You can be at your job for a week and still buy a home.

Interest rates are high. Is it really a good time to buy a house?

It’s actually a great time to buy a house. When rates are high there are less people buying homes which typically means its easier for buyers to negotiate. You can always refinance when rates come down.

I’m not sure what I can afford. How do I figure that out?

The first step is always contacting a loan officer. They will walk you through a series of questions to get you to what you can afford.
