Know Before You Borrow

We believe informed borrowers make better decisions. Here are the key concepts every homebuyer should understand.

01

What is Pre-Approval?

Pre-approval is a lender's conditional commitment to loan you a specific amount based on your financial profile. It signals to sellers that you're a serious, qualified buyer — and gives you a realistic purchase budget before you start shopping.

02

What Affects Your Rate?

Your credit score, loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio, chosen loan type, and current market conditions all influence the rate you qualify for. Even small improvements in your credit profile can translate to meaningful long-term savings.

03

Government vs. Conventional Loans

FHA, VA, and USDA loans are government-backed and offer easier qualification requirements. Conventional loans offer broader flexibility and lower long-term costs for buyers who meet stronger credit and income criteria.

04

What Documents Do I Need?

Most lenders require W-2s or 1099s, recent tax returns, 30 days of pay stubs, 2–3 months of bank statements, and a valid ID. Having these ready before you apply can meaningfully speed up the approval process.

05

Understanding Closing Costs

Closing costs typically range from 2–5% of the loan amount and cover appraisal fees, title insurance, origination charges, and prepaid escrow items. We walk you through a detailed breakdown so there are no surprises at the closing table.

06

15-Year vs. 30-Year Mortgage

A 30-year mortgage means lower monthly payments and greater cash flow flexibility. A 15-year mortgage builds equity faster and costs significantly less in total interest. We'll help you compare both side by side based on your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often from homebuyers and borrowers just like you.

What credit score do I need to qualify for a mortgage?
Requirements vary by loan type. FHA loans accept scores as low as 580 with 3.5% down. Conventional loans typically require a minimum of 620, while the most competitive rates are available at 740 and above. VA and USDA loans also offer flexibility. We'll review your profile and identify your strongest options.
How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends on the loan program. VA and USDA loans require 0% down for qualified buyers. FHA loans start at 3.5% down. Conventional loans begin at 3% for eligible borrowers. A larger down payment reduces your monthly payment and may eliminate the need for private mortgage insurance (PMI).
What is the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?
Pre-qualification is an initial estimate based on self-reported information. Pre-approval involves a full credit check and document review, resulting in a conditional commitment from the lender. Pre-approval carries significantly more weight with sellers and gives you a realistic, reliable purchase budget.
How long does the mortgage process typically take?
From application to closing, most mortgages take 30–45 days. With organized documentation and prompt responses, we work to close as quickly as possible — sometimes in as few as 21 days. We'll set clear timelines from the start so you always know what to expect.
Do I qualify for a VA loan?
VA loans are available to active-duty service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses. Eligibility is based on your length and type of service. We can help you obtain your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and guide you through the full VA loan process from start to close.
What are closing costs and who pays them?
Closing costs typically range from 2–5% of the loan amount and include appraisal fees, title insurance, origination charges, and prepaid escrow items. In some transactions, sellers may agree to cover a portion of closing costs. We provide a detailed Loan Estimate upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
Should I choose a 15-year or 30-year mortgage?
A 30-year mortgage provides lower monthly payments and greater cash flow flexibility. A 15-year mortgage builds equity faster and results in significantly less total interest paid. The right choice depends on your income, goals, and long-term financial plan. We'll walk you through a side-by-side comparison tailored to your situation.
