Conventional loans are not insured by the government and usually require higher credit scores. Government-backed loans (like FHA, VA, or USDA) have specific benefits and lower down payment requirements but must meet eligibility guidelines.
What credit score do I need to pre-qualify?
Minimum credit score requirements vary by loan type. FHA loans typically allow scores as low as 580, while conventional loans usually require 620 or higher for approval.
What are closing cost and how much should I expect?
Closing costs are fees related to your loan, title, and home purchase process. They typically range from 2%–5% of the home’s purchase price and include items like lender fees, title insurance, and taxes.
Do you offer first-time homebuyer programs?
Yes! We offer several programs that can benefit first-time buyers, including low down payment options, down payment assistance, and special loan products.
How long does the mortgage process take?
The average mortgage process takes about 30 days from application to closing, but it can vary depending on the loan type, documentation, and appraisal timelines.
What documents do I need to apply?
You’ll typically need your two most recent pay stubs, two years of W-2s, two years of tax returns (especially if self-employed), bank statements, and a valid ID. Additional documentation may be required based on your specific situation.
