Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a first-time homebuyer?

Not necessarily. While many programs prioritize first-time buyers, some are available to buyers who haven't owned a home in the past 3 years.

What are the income limits?

Income limits vary by county and household size. Generally, your household income must be below certain limits based on the area median income.

What credit score do I need?

Minimum credit score requirements vary by program. Most require a minimum score of 660, but some programs may accept lower scores.

Does this pre-qualification guarantee approval?

No. This is an initial eligibility assessment. Final approval comes from the lender after a complete application and documentation verification.

Is there any cost for this service?
