# 3 Steps to Buying a Dream Home

Are you tired of giving all your money to the landlord and growing his wealth? Why don’t you build your wealth instead?

1. The first step is to figure out your budget – how much you can afford.
2. Once we look at income and expenses, we can calculate your debt-to-income ratio. Once we determine what is comfortable for you to save, we can also calculate your monthly mortgage payments.
3. Your credit score will play a big role in determining whether you qualify for a mortgage and what interest rate will be offered.

With this letter, you can go to your realtor and start buying.
