Answers That Keep You Moving

Frequently Asked Questions

Conventional loans often begin around 620, while FHA financing can work for borrowers with lower scores and a larger down payment. Your rate and mortgage insurance costs are score-driven, so strengthening your credit can reduce your monthly payment. We can review your credit profile and explain your best options.

Some programs allow as little as 3% to 3.5% down for qualified buyers, while VA and certain programs may offer no-down-payment options. Investment and Non-QM loans typically require more. The right amount depends on the loan type, property, and your financial goals.

Pre-qualification is an estimate based on information you provide. Pre-approval is stronger because your credit, income, and assets are reviewed. Many sellers take pre-approved buyers more seriously, especially in competitive markets.

Closing costs cover services such as appraisal, title, lender fees, taxes, and insurance. They commonly total 2% to 5% of the loan amount, but exact figures vary by transaction. We provide a clear estimate so you can plan before you make an offer.

A mortgage credit inquiry may have a small, temporary impact. Multiple mortgage inquiries made within a short shopping window are often treated as one inquiry by scoring models. Pre-approval is still an important step in showing sellers you are ready.

Most borrowers provide pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns, bank statements, and identification. Self-employed borrowers may also provide business statements or profit-and-loss documentation. Non-QM programs can use alternative documentation, such as bank statements or 1099s.

Yes, depending on the program. DSCR loans focus on the property’s cash flow rather than your personal income, which can be useful for investors. We can review the property details and help determine whether rental income supports the loan.

Many purchases close in about 30 to 45 days, though timing depends on the loan program, appraisal, title work, and contract terms. Clear documentation and quick responses can help keep everything on schedule.
