🏡 What You Need to Buy a Home (Start to Finish Guide)

Buying a home doesn’t have to be confusing. If you understand the steps, you can move forward with confidence and avoid costly mistakes.

Here’s the simple breakdown 👇

✅ What You Need:
• Proof of income (pay stubs, W-2s, or 1099s)
• Bank statements for down payment & reserves
• Credit history (don’t worry—options exist for all scores)
• Valid ID
• List of your debts

🧭 Step-by-Step Process:
1️⃣ Get prequalified or preapproved
2️⃣ Choose the right loan program
3️⃣ Start house hunting
4️⃣ Make an offer
5️⃣ Go through underwriting
6️⃣ Get Clear to Close
7️⃣ Closing Day = Keys in hand 🔑

💡 Most buyers don’t need 20% down—and many qualify with as little as 3% or even 0% with assistance programs.
