Combined annual household income for anyone 18 years of age and older. Use gross income for W2 employed persons (including commissions and bonuses) and use net income for self-employed. Income limits vary based on geographic area where you are looking to purchase a home. Click here to view our area income limits. To qualify for our lowest priced home, Elevation CLT recommends a household income of at least $40,000.

Have you worked in the same profession for at least the last two years?

Mortgage lenders require/prefer applicants to provide evidence of a minimum of 2 years of employment in the same profession to qualify you for a mortgage loan.

Do you have or will you have at least $3,000 saved ($1,000 earnest money deposit and at least $2,000 in reserve funding that is not going toward your home purchase)?

YesNo

A minimum of $3,000 in savings is required to be available in a savings account at the time of application, and the availability of these funds will then be verified at the time of loan application and again prior to closing. This $3,000 requirement does not include funds that will be required by your lender for down payment and closing costs, which may vary from an additional $4,500 up to $9,000 or more (estimate only). Down payment assistance and/or a one-time gift may be used to help cover down payment and loan closing costs.

Have you filed for bankruptcy within the last five years?
