        "text": "To apply for first-time home buyer assistance, you typically need to gather financial documents such as recent pay stubs, W-2s, tax returns for the past two years, bank statements, and credit reports. Lenders and program administrators will use these to verify your income, assets, and financial stability. A key preparation step is to organize these documents well in advance and ensure they are up-to-date. This will streamline the application process and help avoid potential delays. Some programs may also require completion of a home buyer education certificate.",
