Pre-Qualification vs. Pre-Approval

Talk to Steven about pre-qualifying to get a clear picture of your home buying options based on your income, credit obligations, and downpayment goals. Once you submit documents to verify your information, pull your credit report, and complete a standard loan application, you'll be pre-approved, giving you strong buying power. Keep in mind, with rising and falling interest rates, pre-approval amounts may change.

We've Got You Covered!

First-time Homebuyer? Consider a Conventional Loan with a minimum 3% down payment and you have a credit score above 620.

Need credit score flexibility? FHA Loans offer a 3.5% down payment option if your credit score is below 620.

Military veteran? VA Loans might be perfect for you, with no down payment required.

Considering a luxury home? We have Jumbo Loans to help you leverage high-end properties for your discerning taste.

Financing a rental property or dealing with complex income or residency documentation? Explore Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) Loans or bank statement loans. These types of loans qualify you based on the property's income or your personal bank statements rather than your personal income.

Want to buy before you sell? Look into a bridge loan! Gain an edge in a competitive market. Obtain financing for your new property without needing to sell your current one. With no monthly payments until your current home sells, you can take your time and get the best possible price.

To be eligible, you must qualify for HomeReady or Home Possible, the loan amount must be $350,000 or less, and manufactured homes are excluded.

Don't Forget to Look Into Points and Tax Benefits

Lower your monthly payments! Mortgage points allow you to prepay some interest in exchange for a reduced interest rate. This can save you money each month, but it's important to plan on staying in your home for at least a few years to recoup the upfront cost.

Plus, owning a home comes with tax advantages! You may be able to deduct mortgage interest and property taxes, lowering your taxable income and potentially reducing your housing payments.

Consult with a tax professional to see if points and tax benefits make sense for your financial situation.
