Frequently Asked Questions

How much do I need for a down payment?

It depends on the loan program. VA and USDA loans offer zero down. FHA requires 3.5%. Conventional loans start at 3% for first-time buyers. Your loan specialist can help determine the best option.

What credit score do I need to buy a home?

Minimum credit scores vary: 580 for FHA, 620 for conventional, 580 for VA. Higher scores get better rates and more program options.

Can I buy before selling my current home?

Yes. Options include bridge loans, home equity lines, or qualifying with both mortgage payments. Your loan specialist can walk you through the options based on your equity and income.

How long does the mortgage process take?

Most purchase loans close in 30–45 days from application. Providing documents quickly and responding to requests promptly helps keep things on schedule.

Should I get pre-qualified before house hunting?

Absolutely. Pre-qualification tells you your budget, and sellers take your offer more seriously when you have financing in place. It's quick and doesn't hurt your credit.
