This workshop is for you if…

You’re thinking about buying, but you’re still wondering whether you’re ready.

You may be ready now. You may need a little time. Either way, the goal is to stop guessing and understand what your next step could be.

Credit

“Is my score good enough?” Learn what lenders actually look at instead of trying to fix everything blindly.

Income & Debt

Understand how income, monthly debts and your desired housing payment work together.

Cash to Close

Learn why 20% down is not the only path and what may make up the funds needed to buy.

What you’ll walk away knowing

A clear Homebuyer Game Plan

Am I actually ready to buy?
What lenders really look at when reviewing credit, income, debt and savings.
What can I comfortably afford?
Why an approval amount and your comfortable payment are not necessarily the same thing.
Which mortgage options might fit?
A simple overview of Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, assistance programs and some self-employed options.
What happens after I apply?
Application → documents → preapproval → house hunting → underwriting → closing → keys.
What do all these mortgage words mean?
APR, DTI, escrow, closing costs, cash to close, appraisal, inspection and underwriting—in normal language.
What should I do next?
Leave with your next three steps instead of another list of things to worry about.
You do not have to know which loan you need

That’s part of my job.

Your job is to tell me your story, your goals and what you want homeownership to look like. My job is to help determine which options may fit your situation.

Traditional Options

Conventional, FHA, VA and USDA may fit different buyers and properties.

Help With Upfront Costs

Down-payment assistance and seller-credit strategies may be available in qualifying situations.

Different Income Situations

Some self-employed and 1099 borrowers may have options beyond a one-size-fits-all approach.
