When buying a home for the first time, confidence is key. Wells Fargo is committed to helping
prepare first-time home buyers for long-term, successful home ownership. The My First Home
interactive guide provides valuable information, handy online tools, and instructive checklists
to help you gain the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about your first
home.
My First Home allows you to learn on your own time, in your own way. If you're more
interested in loan types than home types, you can skip directly to the section that
is most relevant to you. If you only have ten minutes to spare, you can leave the guide
and resume where you left off when you return.
The learning experience is divided into three sections: Preparing to buy your home, Buying
your home, and Being a homeowner.
A program guide walks you through each section, step by step.
The first section focuses on questions that you should consider when you're thinking about
buying a home, including:
* Should I rent or buy? * What are some additional expenses that accompany
a new home? * What role will my credit history play?
Once you have found your home, the buying process begins. This next section prepares
you for the home buying process with information about making an offer, understanding your
financing options, applying for a mortgage, and closing on your home.
The process doesn't end once you're handed a new set of keys. The last section explains
how to manage and protect your home over the long term.
Along the way, the My First Home online tool provides additional resources that you can
take along on your home buying journey. You'll also have an opportunity to check your knowledge
of many topics by identifying home buying myths.
