Step 2: After you finish the class, your RNHS counselor will assess your financial capability, working together will create your Capital, Capacity, and Credit; maximizing your income, control your spending, create or increase savings and make your credit strong to find out which affordable housing programs you qualify for, identify a credible lender that will work for you, and get you ready to shop for your home! Find the right loan and get pre-approved. There are hundreds of loan programs and thousands of lenders looking for your business. RNHS will show you how to find the right one for you. We have established relationships with some of the largest lenders in the country. Our nationally HUD-certified counselors can help you avoid dealing with a predatory lender.
Step 3: Go shopping! Once you have been pre-approved, RNHS will match you with a pre-screened, local real estate professional who will work for you and provides RNHS-qualified buyers with personal support and representation at no cost to you.
Additionally, RNHS has a list of pre-screened, participating Realtors to assist you in getting the most for your money. These realtors understand the unique needs of buyers in our region. To obtain a personal referral, speak with your RNHS counselor.
