With all the people, paperwork, and time-intensive steps involved, getting a mortgage can seem a little like running an obstacle course. But if you take the time to understand the home buying process and come to it with a strong sense of your own finances, you can hurdle, balance, and sprint your way around the course without a scratch.

​

Here’s how to get a mortgage, step by step.

1. Understand your credit and ask yourself, “How much house can I afford?”

2. Get preapproved for a mortgage.

3. Learn about loan programs and consider the right loan program for your goals.

4. Pick the right lender.
