Thinking about purchasing your home? Start here

Talk to the MRAC Housing Manager and what the process involves.
Get independent financial advice, and talk to a lender or a home ownership program about what you could borrow.
Budget for the costs beyond the purchase price — rates, insurance, water, and all maintenance and repairs, which become your responsibility as owner.
Take your time. There is no deadline, and the process stays open.

Please note: MRAC can explain the process and what is available, but we are not licensed financial advisers. Please seek your own independent advice before making a decision about buying a home.
