Pre-qualification provides an estimate of what you might borrow based on self-reported information, while pre-approval involves a thorough evaluation by a lender, giving you a more accurate loan amount.
Credit score requirements vary by loan type. For instance, FHA loans may accept scores as low as 500 with a 10% down payment, but higher scores can secure better interest rates and terms.
Down payment requirements differ by loan program. Conventional loans may require as little as 3% down, while FHA loans require at least 3.5%. Some programs, like VA and USDA loans, offer zero-down options.
Determining your budget is crucial. Consider factors like your income, debts, and the recommended 28%/36% rule, which suggests spending no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing costs and 36% on total debts.
Closing costs are fees associated with finalizing a home purchase, including loan origination fees, appraisal fees, and title insurance. They typically range from 3% to 4% of the home's purchase price.
PMI is insurance that protects the lender if you default on your loan. It's usually required for conventional loans with a down payment of less than 20%.
Selecting a lender involves comparing interest rates, loan terms, fees, and customer service. It's advisable to get quotes from multiple lenders to find the best fit for your needs.
Your DTI ratio compares your monthly debt payments to your gross monthly income. Lenders use this ratio to assess your ability to manage monthly payments and repay debts. A lower DTI ratio improves your chances of loan approval.
The home buying process typically includes getting pre-approved for a mortgage, finding a real estate agent, searching for homes, making an offer, conducting inspections, securing financing, and closing the deal.
