Thinking about setting down and buying your dream house? IAU is proud to have HomeStreet Bank on our side! If you are considering leaving the rental market and buying a home, there are several advantages that you might look forward to. Feeling a sense of stability, planting roots and joining a community, personalizing property, and obtaining the pride of ownership are just some of the benefits. The best way to find out if students are financially ready to buy is to speak with a Loan Officer.
