Home-Buying Process:
Financial Readiness
Finding Mortgage Money
As a homebuyer there are several things to consider when shopping for mortgage money. Some people shop around for low interest rates, low or no down payments or credit flexibility. Others may shop for a flexible loan that meets their current and future income levels. Where you are financially will determine the loan option you choose and for which you are eligible.

| Choosing a Financial Institution |
Buyers should personally visit a variety of financial institutions. Not all financial institutions offer the same programs. Some offer loan products with little flexibility, while others have special loan programs with more flexibility for persons with low to moderate incomes or first-time homebuyers. Compare the recommended loans from each institution. Remember, you are not only shopping for the best rates and fees, but also a reputable organization that delivers what is promised. Use the Choosing a Financial Institution Work Sheet to help you with this process.
