Housing
Home ownership doesn’t have to be a dream...Make it a reality with Jubilee Homes.
We are your source for home ownership, credit analysis & rebuilding, budgeting, home buyer education, and pre-approval and mortgage application assistance.
Unlike other housing developers whose involvement with the home buyer ends at the time of sale, Jubilee has made a lifetime commitment to the neighborhood and a lifetime commitment to our home buyers. Potential homebuyers are nurtured through the process, and the relationship continues after the sale. We offer post-purchase assistance through our home maintenance & repair program and foreclosure prevention. From the agency's onset, Jubilee was determined to be more than a housing developer.
Potential Homebuyers should have:
 A credit score of at least 640+
 Employment for a least 18-24 months
 Have a monthly income of at least $1,700 with minimal debt
 No collections or judgments
 3% for down payment (This depends on amount of loan)
 Taken the homebuyers education classes within one year of applying for a mortgage.
