Once you know the big picture, the #1 question everyone asks next is…
How Can I Find Out How Much I Can Afford?
Get a realistic picture of your budget — including down payment options, monthly payments, and low-down programs for first-timers.
Key factors include your income, debts (DTI), credit score, down payment (as low as 3–5%), and programs like FHA, VA, USDA, and first-time grants.
Example:
A $300,000 home with 5% down at today's rates could mean a monthly payment in the ballpark of $2,000–2,400 (principal, interest, taxes, insurance). Your numbers depend on your situation.
