I'm just learning about all the expenses associated with a home purchase. It ain't just about the down payment. As I work my way through the saving, applying for a mortgage and the other costs I'll be sharing stuff here. I know if I can do it almost anyone can!

The real estate agency gave me a list of local lenders their clients have successfully worked with in the past.

Mortgage Lenders List


I've only contacted HSBC so far because they have the SHOP capital program, which is funding for home purchases in certain census tracts. I spoke to someone from HSBC and she told me about a bunch of other programs that I might be able to qualify for regardless of income based on the area I'm interested in. I'll be putting more about them here or in the diary. For now I guess I'll be in touch with the mortgage lender tomorrow. He had called me to tell me he did get my credit report.. I'm sure there will be some things I need to explain. I'm hoping the significant increase in income over the past 5 years will help explain the older credit problems.
