Best Answer

To become a homeowner, one should have stable finances, both in the recent past and foreseeable future. This means having a continuous, reliable source of income; being employed continuously for the last 2 years even if not in the same job and being likely to continue being employed; having a checking and/or savings account; filing an income tax return with the IRS each year; paying bills on time and having a good credit score; having manageable total debt; having enough money saved for a down payment, closing costs, and moving expenses; and having enough probable future income to afford both the mortgage and other home-related expenses.
