Income Verification: We use a number of financial documents to calculate your household income, including current paystubs and your IRS Form 1040. You must submit information for all adult household members who will be be living with you in your new home. You may need to have each person fill out IRS form 4506-T. This form allows the IRS to release transcripts directly to a third party (your counselor and/or the NSP2 Project Manager). If you have a challenge with these documents, schedule a counseling session for more information before applying. See: Our Partners

Maximum Household Assets of $200,000

Asset Verification: In general terms, an asset is cash or items that can be converted to cash. Savings and checking accounts, real estate and investments are assets. Retirement accounts like an IRA or 401K account are usually excluded. If a retirement account or college savings plan is to be liquidated to support the home purchase, it will be added to the asset calculation. To determine household assets, you should add up the assets for each member of the household.

Good credit history, low existing debt: Our Partners can help you get there.
