Alex and Megan thought buying a home near Austin meant they needed perfect credit, 20% down, and a giant salary.
They were wrong.

The first real step isn’t touring homes. It’s figuring out your true buying power. So before we ever looked at houses, we did four things:

1️⃣ We checked what monthly payment felt safe for their real life, not just what a lender might approve.
2️⃣ We estimated cash needed upfront: down payment, closing costs, and reserves.
3️⃣ We cleaned up the paperwork: pay stubs, bank statements, tax returns, IDs.
4️⃣ We connected the numbers to a pre-approval so they could shop with facts instead of hope.

If you’re starting from zero, save this.
