WHAT'S INSIDE

- Readiness self-assessment (credit, savings, income stability)
- Pre-approval document checklist (W-2s, pay stubs, 2 months statements, exactly what every lender asks for)
- DTI and credit score worksheets (know your numbers before applying)
- House-hunting priority ranker (must-have, nice-to-have, deal-breaker)
- Showing-day checklist (what to look at, what to photograph, red flags)
- Home inspection red-flag list (what inspectors find but don't flag to save your decision)
- 3-lender comparison grid (how to request Loan Estimates plus how to compare them)
- Closing-day playbook (what happens, what to sign, what to verify)
- Wire-fraud reference card (the number one way first-time buyers lose $50K+)
- First-year homeowner maintenance calendar (12-month recurring tasks)
- Emergency contact directory (fill in your team: lender, realtor, inspector, insurance)

WHY THIS ONE

Generic "home buyer checklists" online are 10-item listicles. This is the real version: the 47 things you have to track across 60 to 120 days between pre-approval and closing. Built from actual closings, not bank marketing copy.

WHO THIS IS FOR

- First-time buyers (or first-timers in a new state)
- Buyers in 2026 navigating shifting rates and inventory
- Anyone buying with an FHA, VA, or conventional loan
- Couples who want one shared checklist instead of two spreadsheets

FILE DETAILS

- Format: PDF
- Sizes: US Letter and A4
- Pages: 50+
