Welcome to Step 2: Unlock Your Buying Power

Before you fall in love with a home, let's make sure it loves you back. Step 2 is where we turn dreams into numbers—real numbers that show you exactly what you can afford, what your monthly payment will be, and how to position yourself as a serious buyer.

Here's the truth:

Sellers want buyers who are ready. Lenders want borrowers who are prepared. And YOU deserve to know your options before you waste time on homes outside your reach—or miss out on homes you didn't know you could afford.

Your Financial Clarity Starts Here,

💰 Discover Your True Buying Power
Find out exactly how much home you qualify for based on your income, credit, and financial situation—not guesswork, real numbers.

📉 Lock In Your Interest Rate Options
Get current rate information and see how different loan programs affect your monthly payment. Knowledge is negotiating power.

🧮 Calculate Your Real Monthly Payment
No surprises. See your principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA fees—the complete picture of homeownership costs.

✅ Get Pre-Qualified Fast
Answer a few simple questions, and we'll connect you with trusted lenders who can get you pre-qualified quickly—often within 24-48 hours.

Before We Start: Let's Talk Honestly

To give you accurate information and the best financing options, we'll ask some important questions. Don't worry—this is a judgment-free zone. We've helped buyers in every situation imaginable.

We'll ask about:

✔️ Employment History – How long have you been at your current job?
✔️ Income Type – Are you W-2 or 1099? Salaried or self-employed?
✔️ Credit Situation – Any past bankruptcies, foreclosures, or collections?
✔️ Tax Liens – Do you have any outstanding federal or state tax liens?
✔️ Debt Obligations – Current loans, credit cards, child support, or alimony?
✔️ Down Payment – How much are you planning to put down?
✔️ Credit Challenges – Any concerns about your credit score or history?

Why we ask: These questions help us match you with the right lender, the right loan program, and the right strategy. They also help us identify if credit restoration could improve your options.
