Do you currently rent?  Do you want to become a home owner? Here's some advice for you to accomplish that goal.

Start Saving

You’d like to buy a home. The problem is, you’re paying so much in rent, there’s nothing left to save.

It doesn’t matter. Start saving anyway. Even if it’s just a can on the kitchen windowsill where you dump your spare change, start saving.

Let your children know what you’re doing, and let them contribute if they want to, too.

Open an account at UNITED SA® with the explicit purpose of saving for a down payment. Our Money Market Account is perfect, because you can make regular deposits to the account. But there are limits to withdrawing the money, thereby helping you commit to your goal of owning your own home.

So start saving. Surprise yourself with how much you can save, and how quickly your “Let’s Buy a Home” fund grows.
