@Cliff Phillips and @Sedricka Jackson So proud of you two for taking another step toward homeownership by speaking with one of our preferred lenders. Remember, we’re all here to guide you through to your goal.

Your dream of homeownership starts with preparation. One of the biggest reasons people get delayed in the homebuying process isn’t desire — it’s documentation. The Homebuyers Cohort was created to help you get organized, educated, and supported every step of the way so you can move from “thinking about buying” to actually getting the keys. To help us assess your starting point and create the best strategy for your journey, we’ve put together a checklist of the initial documents needed for the cohort application process. This program is designed for aspiring homeowners who are serious about building stability, ownership, and long-term wealth through real estate. Whether you’re ready now or still working through a few challenges, we want to help you create a pathway forward. Review the checklist graphic carefully and begin gathering your documents now so you’re ready when the time comes. Homeownership is possible — but preparation matters. Let’s build the foundation together.

Some loan programs require 0–3.5% down. Plus, many cities and states offer down payment assistance grants that don't require repayment. Here in Houston, for example, there are downpayment assistance programs that offer up to $125,000 in downpayment assistance! The goal isn't to save the perfect amount. It's to save strategically and use every available resource. 💬 Are you currently saving for a down payment?
