American Affordable Homes Financing
Your First Step To A First Step Home
At American Affordable Homes, we’re committed to making your loan process simple and easy to understand. That’s why we offer in-house financing options for your convenience and peace of mind.
It's smart to have your money working for you while saving for a house. Consider saving your money in a high-interest savings account. While investing your money in the stock market is another option, it is typically a riskier, longer-term approach with no guarantee you will make money in the long or short-term. Instead, opening a high-interest savings account can help you earn some interest on your money without the risk of market volatility in the stock market depleting your savings.
Pay yourself first. Most people wait until the end of the month to save, but you risk spending that money between payday and the month’s end. Instead, try setting up a recurring transfer from your checking to your savings account — a good rule of thumb is to automate the transfer based on your paycheck cycle. If you get paid on Friday every week, have a set amount automatically transferred from your checking into your savings on that day. That way, you’re not tempted to spend it.
