Get Started

Steps to get Started

Income

Common Ground uses HUD AMI income limits as a criterion for our selection process with potential homebuyers. We will consider applicants whose household income is below 80% of the area median income for Chelan County.
Finance

All homebuyers must be approved for a traditional mortgage through a lender for the sales price of the home. We recommend meeting with a lender to get started. The journey to homeownership can take time so it’s a good idea to get started as soon as you confirm that you qualify for our requirements.
