Can you and your family work 250-500
hours on your home before moving in? *Please see Brochure tab at the bottom of this page for additional information.
3. Able to pay an affordable mortgage.
Can you afford a monthly mortgage payment of roughly $850-$1250 per month? (for example, you need to have a reliable household annual gross income of $33,000-$55,680 for a family of 4) *Please see Brochure tab at the bottom of this page for additional income information.
