Before we talk about houses, let’s talk about you. Readiness isn’t a credit-score gate or a savings-account test — it’s an honest look at where you stand today, so we know exactly what to work on, if anything, before you start touring homes.
The Quick Readiness Scorecard
Three or more “yes” answers? You’re likely closer to ready than you think. Fewer than that isn’t a red light — it just tells us where to focus first, and most gaps close in months, not years.
The Truth About Savings
You do not need a massive cash cushion to start this process. Between FHA, VA, USDA, and San Antonio-specific down payment assistance, most first-time buyers need far less saved than they assume.
Credit: What Actually Matters
You don’t need a perfect score. Lenders look at your full picture — payment history, utilization, and length of credit — and there’s often more flexibility than people expect, especially with FHA financing.
