Have Questions About Home Financing?

We’ve Got Answers!

Here are some of the most common mortgage-related questions we receive.

1. How much should I save for a down payment?

It depends on the loan type—conventional loans typically require 5-20%, while FHA and VA loans require less.

2. What’s the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?

Pre-qualification is an estimate, while pre-approval means a lender has verified your financials.

3. How does my credit score affect my mortgage rate?

Higher credit scores usually mean lower interest rates. Aim for 700+ for the best terms.

4. Can I buy a home while still paying off student loans?

Yes! Lenders consider your debt-to-income ratio when approving loans.

5. How do I lock in a mortgage rate?

Once pre-approved, you can lock in your rate with a lender to protect against market changes.
