Why Buying a Home Feels Like a Race… And How to Win It

March 31, 2025 Nanci Rowe Comments Off on Why Buying a Home Feels Like a Race… And How to Win It

Why It Feels Like a Marathon (And How to Actually Cross the Finish Line)

If you’ve ever tried to buy a home, you know the feeling.
Just when you think you’re ready to sprint toward that front door, another hurdle pops up: Down payment. Debt-to-income ratio. Pre-approval. Underwriting. 🏃‍♂️💨

The path to homeownership isn’t a straight line… it’s a full-on obstacle course. And unless you know what to expect, it can leave you exhausted, confused, and ready to give up before you even get started.

That’s why we’re here to run it with you.

At Real Deal Network, we help people just like you turn the chaos into clarity and the sprint into a strategy.

Let’s break it down.


Step 1: Pre-Approval — The Starting Line

Before you can even think about house-hunting, you need to know what you qualify for. That’s where pre-approval comes in.

A lender will look at your credit, income, and debt to give you a realistic number. It’s like getting your race bib… it tells you where you stand and helps you avoid disappointment down the line.

Pro tip: Don’t skip this step. Without pre-approval, you’re just running laps without a lane.


Step 2: The Loan Obstacle Course

Next comes the real workout:

  • Debt-to-Income Ratio
  • Underwriting
  • Employment verification
  • Credit checks

Each one is a hoop you’ll need to jump through to prove you’re ready to own a home. It’s not personal… it’s policy. And with the right guidance, you can breeze through without wiping out.


Step 3: The Down Payment Hurdle

For many buyers, this is the biggest mental block. You don’t need 20% down, but you do need a plan.

Whether it’s saving strategically, tapping into first-time buyer programs, or exploring creative financing—there are options. You just have to know where to look.

(That’s what we’re here for.)


Step 4: Crossing the Finish Line

Once your offer is accepted, you’re in the final stretch. Closing day is around the corner, and that “Welcome Home” moment is within reach.

This is where the baton gets passed from preparation to payoff. It’s where all the effort, planning, and persistence come together… and you finally get the keys.

Cue the victory lap. 🏡🙌


So, How Do You Run the Race Without Burning Out?

You don’t do it alone.

In our community, we walk… and run… side by side with people like you every step of the way. Whether you’re buying your first home or helping others do it through your business, we’ll help you navigate the process with confidence.

Because getting a home shouldn’t feel like an Olympic sport.
It should feel like a plan with purpose.


Ready to Get on Track?

👉 Join us for an Intro and learn how we guide new buyers (and investors!) through the full homebuying process… from start to finish… with tools, support, and a community that’s with you every step of the way.
