It's the Heartland Way.
KNOW WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD
It’s important to know how much mortgage you qualify for. You’ll get this number through a home loan application and pre-approval. More importantly, you’ll need to decide how much you can comfortably afford.

  • Affordability takes expenses like taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance into consideration.
  • Your HCU Real Estate Loan Consultant is trained to find the proper price range for your budget.
