❌ Myth: I can find everything online

Here’s what to keep an eye out for—beyond the cute throw pillows:

Being self-employed gives you freedom, but also requires extra preparation when buying a home. Here’s how to set yourself up for success:
✅ Keep finances separate – Use a dedicated business account so lenders can clearly see your income and expenses.
✅ Watch your deductions – Claiming every expense can reduce your reported income, which lowers your buying power.
Getting pre-qualified is a major win for first-time buyers—but what you do next can make all the difference. Here's how to turn that pre-approval into a successful purchase:
✅ Know Your True Budget – Focus on what feels comfortable month-to-month, not just the max loan amount.
✅ Be Ready to Act Fast – Great homes go quickly. Being pre-qualified gives you a competitive edge.
