Most lenders require a minimum credit score for mortgage qualification, though this may vary depending on the loan type. Generally, a score of 620 is needed for conventional loans, but other loan types may have different requirements.
The typical down payment is 20% of the home’s price, but some loans, such as FHA or VA loans, allow for lower down payments, sometimes as low as 3% or even zero for qualified borrowers.
We offer a range of mortgage options, including fixed-rate mortgages, adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), FHA loans, VA loans, and jumbo loans. Each type has unique terms and eligibility requirements.
Interest rates directly affect your monthly payment. Lower rates mean lower monthly payments and less paid over the life of the loan, while higher rates increase both the monthly payment and the total interest paid.
Typical documents include proof of income (pay stubs, tax returns), bank statements, credit reports, and information about other debts. Documentation requirements may vary depending on the loan type.
Yes, pre-approval is recommended. It shows sellers that you’re a serious buyer and gives you a clear budget. Pre-approval involves a credit check and verification of income and assets.
Closing costs are fees paid at the finalization of the mortgage. These typically range from 2% to 5% of the home’s purchase price and cover expenses like appraisal fees, title insurance, and legal fees.
Many loans allow for early payment with no penalty, although some have prepayment penalties. Paying off your mortgage early reduces the amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan.
PMI is required if your down payment is less than 20% of the home’s price. It protects the lender in case of default. PMI can be removed once you have enough equity in the home.
The process generally takes 30 to 45 days, though it may vary based on individual circumstances and the responsiveness of the borrower in providing necessary documents.
