Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I borrow?

The amount you can borrow depends on several factors, including your income, debt, credit score, down payment, and the property's value. Generally, lenders recommend that your monthly housing expenses (including mortgage, taxes, and insurance) should not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income, and your total debt payments should not exceed 36% of your income.

What's the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?

Pre-qualification is an informal estimate of how much you might be able to borrow based on information you provide. Pre-approval is a more formal process where the lender verifies your financial information and credit history to determine how much you can borrow. A pre-approval letter shows sellers that you're a serious buyer with financing in place.

How much down payment do I need?

Down payment requirements vary by loan type. Conventional loans typically require at least 3-5%, FHA loans require at least 3.5%, and VA loans may not require any down payment for eligible veterans. Jumbo loans often require 10-20%. A larger down payment can help you secure a better interest rate and avoid private mortgage insurance.

What are closing costs?

Closing costs are fees associated with your home purchase that are paid at the closing of your real estate transaction. They typically range from 2-5% of the loan amount and may include lender fees, appraisal fees, title insurance, attorney fees, taxes, and prepaid items like homeowners insurance and property taxes.

Should I choose a fixed or adjustable rate mortgage?

Fixed-rate mortgages offer the security of a consistent interest rate and monthly payment for the life of the loan. Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) typically start with a lower rate for an initial period, then adjust periodically based on market indexes. ARMs might be suitable if you plan to move or refinance before the initial rate period ends, while fixed-rate loans are better for long-term stability.
