Your Step-by-Step Guide to Afford to Buy a House in Victorville, CA
You want your home to be a haven of happiness, not a financial burden. One of the best ways to make sure that happens is to prepare for your home purchase ahead of time. Be honest with yourself to determine if you can afford to buy a house in Victorville, or if you should hold off until your situation is different. Walk through the following steps to get started and reach out to a Mr. Cooper Mortgage Professional to discuss strategy.
Evaluate every angle of your finances. How do you feel about your savings, current debt, monthly expenses, and credit history? A quick check-in with yourself can get you on the right path. A solid way to begin your Victorville home buying journey is with adequate savings for a down payment, a strong credit history, and a good grasp on your everyday expenses.
Now, let's play with some real numbers. Plug in some numbers to Mr. Cooper's affordability calculator and see where you (and your budget) stand. You can get an idea of how much house you can afford to buy in Victorville based on income or your desired maximum monthly mortgage payment. Will this price range get you into the Victorville home you've been dreaming about? If not, consider buying a house in a surrounding area or boosting your down payment. If it will, then take the next step in the homeownership journey with Mr. Cooper!
It's time to prequalify for a home in Victorville. Prequalification is a more formal estimate of how much of a home loan you could get approved for.

Start with Mr. Cooper’s online prequalification tool. Let us know where you'd like to buy a home in Victorville, the property type, how you anticipate using the property, and whether or not you're currently working with a real estate professional.
