Common questions

How much do I need for a down payment?

With an FHA loan, you can buy a home with as little as 3.5% down. For example, on a $300,000 home, that's just $10,500. Conventional loans can go as low as 3% down for qualified first-time buyers. Your loan officer will help you determine the best option for your situation.

What credit score do I need?

FHA loans accept credit scores as low as 580 for the 3.5% down payment option. Conventional loans typically require a minimum of 620. Even if your credit isn't perfect, we'll work with you to find the best loan option for your situation.

Can I use gift money for my down payment?

Yes! Both FHA and conventional loans allow you to use gift funds from family members for your down payment and closing costs. We'll guide you through the proper documentation needed to use gift funds.

How long does it take to close?

Our average closing time is 21 days, but we can often close faster if needed. Once you're pre-approved, the timeline depends on factors like the home inspection, appraisal, and title work. We'll keep you updated throughout the entire process.

What are closing costs?

Closing costs typically range from 2-5% of the home's purchase price and cover things like appraisal fees, title insurance, and origination fees. The good news? With FHA loans, the seller can contribute up to 6% toward your closing costs. We'll provide a detailed breakdown upfront so there are no surprises.
