Some of the questions we receive aren’t about Richmond American Homes, but about homebuying in general. For example…

Q: Do I have to have spotless credit to buy a home?

A: No, but a good credit history may help you get a better interest rate on your mortgage. If you’re not sure whether you’re ready to buy a home, you may be interested in our free First-time Homebuyer Guide. It contains budget worksheets, credit management tips, mortgage FAQs, moving checklists and other resources to help you plan your new home purchase. We also offer a guide called 8 Credit Score Management Tips, which focuses specifically on ways to get your credit mortgage ready, and another for those interested in Buying a House After Bankruptcy, Foreclosure or Short Sale.
