What's the difference between pre-qualified and pre-approved? βΎ
Pre-qualification is a quick estimate based on the info you provide. Pre-approval is more official β we verify your income, credit, and documents so you're ready to make a strong offer the moment you find the right home.
How much do I need for a down payment? βΎ
It depends on the loan type. Some loans require as little as 0% (VA & USDA), 3% (Conventional first-time buyers), or 3.5% (FHA). We'll help you find the best fit for your situation.
What credit score do I need to buy a home? βΎ
Most programs start around 580β620. Some go as low as 500. The higher your score, the better your rate. We'll review your full credit picture and help you improve it if needed before you apply.
I'm self-employed. Can I still get a mortgage? βΎ
Absolutely. We offer loans that use bank statements, assets, or CPA-prepared profit and loss statements instead of traditional tax returns. Self-employed buyers are our specialty.
Can I qualify with rental income? βΎ
Yes! We can count projected rent or existing leases to help boost your qualifying income β especially helpful for investors or multi-unit property buyers.
What happens at the consultation β is there any obligation? βΎ
Zero obligation. We just talk. You share your situation, we give you honest advice and real numbers. If it makes sense to work together, great. If not, you still leave with more clarity than you came in with.
