financial picture that shows that you can support a house payment. Of course, if you are currently renting
a house, that will go away so that part of your current budget can go toward that house payment. If you
have a stable history of paying your rent and taking care of your bills in general, that is a big help in

preliminary evaluation tells you that you can afford.

to close the deal and buy that house, you will be well prepared every step of the way.
