4 Steps to Homeownership

Step # 1 Homebuyer Education & Counseling.

Homebuyer Education & Counseling

Before beginning the homebuying process, it's important to get educated and informed. One way to do this is by attending a HUD-approved Homebuyer Education Workshop, where you can learn about the different types of mortgages, the homebuying process, and how to manage your finances as a homeowner. You can also sign up for a 1:1 Counseling Session with a HUD-approved housing counselor for personalized guidance and support.

Step # 2 Secure Pre-Approved Mortgage Loan.

Secure Pre-Approved Mortgage Loan

Once you have completed your homebuyer education and counseling, it's time to secure a pre-approved mortgage loan. This involves meeting with a Mortgage Lender to discuss your financing options, see if you qualify for downpayment assistance, and apply for financing. After reviewing your financial information, the lender will offer you a pre-approval, which is a conditional commitment to lend you a specific amount of money to purchase a home.

Step # 3 Find Your Dream Home.

Find Your Dream Home!

With your pre-approval in hand, you can begin shopping for your dream home with a licensed agent/broker right here in The HUB. When you find a property you're interested in, it's important to get a home inspection, appraisal, and homeowners insurance before making an offer and signing a contractual agreement. You can find a certified community partner in our Marketplace. This will ensure that you know the true condition and value of the property and that you're protected in case of any unexpected events.

Step # 4 Secure Final Approval of Mortgage Loan.

Secure Final Approval of Mortgage Loan

After you have made an offer on a property and it has been accepted, it's time to secure the final approval of your mortgage loan. This involves the Mortgage Loan Underwriting process, where the lender reviews your financial information and the property information to ensure that everything meets their lending criteria. If everything checks out, you'll receive Final Mortgage Loan Approval.
