FAQ
Do you have to put 20% down to get a loan?
Answer: Absolutely not. There are conventional programs as low as 3% down for conventional programs, 3.5% for FHA, and some 0 down programs. Can the down payment be a gift? Can all of it be a gift?
Answer: The answer both of these is yes. In fact, FHA allows non family members to give gifts but they do have to be documented and tracked? Will pulling my credit hurt my scores?
Answer: An inquiry typically has a small, but negative, 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 basically states that the lender has looked at the application and made a decision based on what was submitted. A pre-approval letter is a file that has already been through underwriting and approved just waiting now on the buyer to find a home. What is the difference between a mortgage broker and a bank?
Answer: A “mortgage broker” typically works with several or more lenders to provide different options and rates to the consumer. Usually mortgage brokers use these lenders to “fund” and close the loans in the funding lenders name. A “bank” typically funds in their names and consumers applications are generally not “shopped” as the bank carries their own products. What’s the difference between conventional and FHA loans?
Answer: Conventional loans are underwritten according to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines and borrowers with higher credit scores and lower debt to income ratios fall into this category. FHA loans are written to FHA guidelines and are more flexible with the credit scores and debt to income ratios.
