Meet with a lender and bring the required paperwork. Basically, you’ll need good credit, sufficient income, stable work history, and a low debt-to-income ratio.

The first step to qualifying is to contact a lender to see if you can get preapproved. Some things a lender is going to look for: credit score (620is the absolute lowest score you can get financing for), assets, employment history, current debt, etc. A good lender will gladly answer any detailed questions you have and try their hardest to ensure that you are able to buy a home. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me, I’ve been a mortgage lender for 10 years and am in the top 20 in the country. (check out my blog at http://www.joecaltabiano.com)

First Time Home Buyers has a lot of perks. Look up Fannie Mae’s properties or Government assistances programs, which will pay up to 3-5% of your closing cost and requires very little down payment or assets to qualify. These agencies will accommodate.

so first of all, you need to have some money for the down payment. There are some zero down payment loan but you need to have excellent credit score. so you will need to have at least 5% for down payment

You will need to have two years of steady employment, if you change job, better in the same field with the same level of pay

good credit score (~660), the higher the score, the easier for you to be qualified

income that is at least two times higher than your expected monthly mortgage

If you don’t meet all four requirement, don’t give up. Talk to a lender anyway
