Welcome to our New Buyer Help page, developed to assist first time buyers with what may be the largest purchase they make in their lifetime.
An important first step that some people overlook is determining how much they can afford to spend before looking at homes.
The following link will take you to the Federal Housing Administration's on-line mortgage calculator. Use it to determine which Kay Builder community best fits your budget and needs.

Now that you know how much you can afford, you're going to need help understanding the terminology involved with buying your new home. That's where our Glossary of Home-Buying Terms page can help.
Click the bar below to explore the various terms and abbreviations you will encounter throughout the process. To help you quickly navigate the list, we created a search bar that will present all the area's in which a term or abbreviation is used.
Why should I buy a home instead of renting? How do I find a lender? What do I need to take with me when I apply for a mortgage?
These are just a few of the questions answered in our Frequently Asked Questions section. Please click the FAQ button to explore the other questions and answers located in this section.
Like our Glossary of Terms page, this section can also be saved to your "My Favorites" folder for quick reference or to email to your family or friends.
