How much do I need for a down payment?
The amount depends on the loan program. Some loans require as little as 0% down for qualified borrowers, while others may require 3%, 3.5%, 5%, or more. I’ll help you determine which option best fits your situation.
What credit score do I need to buy a home?
Credit score requirements vary by loan program. While higher scores may provide more financing options, many buyers qualify with lower scores than they expect. The best way to know where you stand is to have your credit reviewed.
How long does it take to close on a mortgage?
Most home purchases close in approximately 30 days, although the timeline can vary depending on the loan program, appraisal, title work, and other factors.
Should I get pre-approved before looking at homes?
Yes. A pre-approval helps you understand your budget, strengthens your offer, and gives sellers confidence that you’re financially prepared to purchase a home.
Can I use gift funds for my down payment?
Many loan programs allow eligible gift funds from qualified family members or other approved sources. I’ll explain the guidelines that apply to your specific loan program.
