Start with the guide.
The first edition, The Illinois Nurse Homebuyer Guide, is out now, and every future door gets its own. The road from renting to keys, written for people who work real shifts, not bankers' hours.
- The down payment myth, in plain terms
- What counts as income when your paycheck is not a neat box
- Illinois and Chicago homebuyer programs worth knowing, by name
- The documents to start saving now, so nothing catches you off guard
Every program fact in the guide carries its source and the date we verified it.
What we are, and what we are not
Keys to the City is a marketing service operated by Project Baseline. We are not a lender and nothing here is an offer or commitment to lend.
We built this so the people who keep this city running can see, in plain language, what may be possible. No pressure at any step, and your information is never sold.
In a category full of fine print and asterisks, we would rather say the quiet part in display type.
Two minutes, start to finish
The city already counts on you. Count yourself in.
Free to check. Not an application, and there is no credit pull. Quiz answers are never an eligibility decision; only a licensed loan officer can walk you through what programs you may qualify for.
