Owning a home can give you stability and security, and protection from rising housing costs. Once you finish your mortgage payments, you’ll own a home that you can sell or pass along to loved ones after your death. Along the way, you may enjoy tax benefits.

If you want to buy a home, start getting ready

If you can answer “yes” to the questions below, you’re probably ready to buy your own home:

  • Do you have at least two years of regular,
    steady income?

  • Is your income reliable?

  • Do you have good credit?

  • Have you saved money for a down payment?

  • Can you pay a mortgage every month?

Save for a down payment 

Most lenders won’t lend you the full price of a home. They want you to come up with some of the money yourself. That money is called a down payment.

It can be hard to save up a down payment. But a large down payment can help you get a mortgage and reduce the interest rate you pay.

Check your credit

To get the best interest rate on a mortgage, you need good credit. For some loans, lenders want you to have a minimum credit score of 620, unless you have a large down payment.
