FAQ
Do you have to put 20% down to get a loan?
Answer: Absolutely not. There are conventional programs for as low as 3% down, 3.5% for FHA, and some for 0%.
Can the down payment be a gift?
Answer: Yes. In fact, FHA allows non-family members to give gifts, but they have to be documented and tracked.
Will pulling my credit hurt my scores?
Answer: An inquiry typically has a negative yet negligible impact on your credit score. You can shop around for a mortgage and it will not hurt your credit. Within a 45-day window, multiple credit checks from mortgage lenders are recorded on your credit report as a single inquiry.
What is the difference between a pre-qualification letter and a pre-approval letter?
Answer: A pre-qualification letter states that the lender has reviewed the application and made a decision based on what was submitted. A pre-approval letter has already been through underwriting and approved, and is just waiting for the buyer to find a home.
What is the difference between a mortgage broker and a bank?
Answer: A “mortgage broker” works with several lenders to provide the consumer different options and rates. Usually, mortgage brokers use these lenders to “fund” and close the loans in the funding lender’s name. A “bank” typically funds in their names, and consumers’ applications are generally not “shopped,” as the bank carries their own products.
What is the difference between conventional and FHA loans?
Answer: Conventional loans are written under the guidelines of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for borrowers with higher credit scores and lower debt-to-income ratios. FHA loans are written under the FHA’s guidelines and are more flexible with credit scores and debt-to-income ratios.
