🏆 Step 1: Get Mortgage-Ready Like a Pro!

Before you start scrolling through listings, let’s get your finances in shape! Follow these simple steps to boost your loan approval chances.

✅ Check Your Credit Score– The higher your score, the better your interest rate! Aim for 620+(but don’t worry—we have options for lower scores too!).

✅ Pay Down Debt – Lenders look at your Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI)—a lower DTI = a stronger loan application.

✅ Save for a Down Payment– Even if you qualify for zero down, having some savings helps with closing costs and unexpected expenses.

✅ Avoid New Debt – Put that new car or furniture shopping spree on hold! New credit inquiries and big purchases can hurt your loan approval.

✅ Get Pre-Approved – This is a game-changer! Sellers LOVE buyers who are pre-approved because it shows you're serious and ready to go.
