Most of us don't have the cash to buy a house. 

The good news is there are a lot of banks and other lenders that would love to give you money to buy a house.  The money they give you is called a mortgage.

Before a lender will give you a mortgage, they will evaluate 3 things first.

(1)  Are you the kind of person who pays their bills
(2) Do you make enough money to pay a mortgage plus the other debt you owe
(3) If you can’t or don’t pay your mortgage payments, can we sell the house to get our money back
