Getting Started
Why Own a Home?
There are significant benefits to owning your own home, especially if you plan on remaining in the same location for at least four to five years.
How Much House You Can Afford?
Like all significant purchases, it is important to start figuring out how much you can afford, including upfront costs, like a down payment and closing costs.
Preparing Your Finances
What Does Your Credit Look Like?
Your credit rating shows your willingness to repay a home loan and plays an important part in the approval process, even determining your interest rate and terms.
Getting Pre-Qualified
You can get pre-qualified by providing us with your supporting income and asset documentation and submitting a formal application. That allows us to pull your credit so we can show you the maximum purchase price and loan amount you can get.
Do Not Jeopardize Your Loan Approval
When you are pre-qualified, it is important for you to make no changes to your income or job, assets, or credit. Any changes could nullify your pre-qualification and lead to a denial of your loan request.
Your Home Preferences
Where Do You Want to Live?
Once you figure out your home budget, come up with a list of the top neighborhoods or school districts you can afford.
What’s on Your “Must-Have” List?
Is it a deal breaker that you purchase a single-family home? Or would a townhome or condominium work just as well? This is important because there are different lending criteria and loan pricing based on the property type.
What You Need to Get Started
Once you have the details of your dream home defined, you will need outside help to assist you with finding and financing it. NASA Federal can provide guidance as well as save you money.
