The home buying process is different for everyone, but this road map can help you get started.
Before you can start shopping, you need to know what your budget looks like. Schedule an appointment to talk to a lender about their mortgage products or to be preapproved for a mortgage. Rehabbed & Ready accepts mortgages from all lenders—choose the lender you prefer.
Loan Officers
Not sure where to start? These financial institutions have financed the most Rehabbed & Ready sales. Remember, purchasers are not required to use a specific loan product to purchase Rehabbed & Ready properties; the Rehabbed & Ready team accepts conventional, FHA, VA loans and cash offers.
