Loan amounts depend on your income, credit score, debt-to-income ratio (DTI), and the type of loan you choose. We can help estimate your borrowing power when you fill out an application or book a call.

3.) What credit score do I need to qualify for a loan?

Credit score requirements vary by loan type. Some loans require a minimum or 580 or 620, while others may have more flexible guidelines.

4.) How much down payment is required? Are there low or no down payment options?

Down payments range from 0% to 20% or more depending on the loan program. There are down payment assistance (DPA) loans and low down payment loan options as well.

Rates change daily based on the market and your personal credit profile. Contact us for the most up-to-date rates tailored to you.

6. How do I get pre-approved for a mortgage?

You submit basic financial info and documents to our secure portal so we can verify your income, credit, and debts. This lets you know your loan eligibility and price range.

7. What documents will I need to apply for a loan?

Typically, you'll need last 30 days pay stubs, tax returns or W2's, bank statements, ID, and employment info. Exact requirements depend on your loan type.

It usually takes 30-45 days from application to closing but can vary based on loan complexity and documentation.

PMI protects the lender if you put less than 20% down on a conventional loan. VA loans do not require PMI.

10. Can I use gift funds for my down payment?

Yes, many loan programs allow gift funds from family or approved sources. Guidelines vary depending on the loan type.

Closing costs vary per loan and cover costs for loan processing, home owners insurance premium, title fees, and escrows. They usually range from 2% to 5% of the loan amount.

Fixed-rate loans have the same interest rate for the life of the loan. Adjustable-rate loans start with a lower rate that can change after a set period of time.

16. How does my debt-to-income ratio affect my loan approval?

DTI compares your monthly debts to your monthly income. Lower DTI improves your approval chances. DTI limits vary by loan type.

You can absolutely still qualify, but it may require additional documentation like tax returns, 12-24 months of bank statements, or profit/loss statements.
