Aloha, I recommend you contact the following non-profit group: http://www.hihomeownership.org. They will assist you in preparing for the loan and purchase process of a house, without the pressure of actually speaking with a lender or Realtor. Best of luck to you! Warm aloha, Katie Minkus, R(B).

The best place to start the process of home ownership is with a qualifed lender. If you need names of people in your area, please let me know. JillyG
