Mortgage FAQ
Questions, Answered
What credit score do I need to buy a home?
A score of 620 or higher opens up most conventional options, while FHA and VA programs can be more flexible. The best way to know where you stand is a quick pre-approval, we will review your full picture, not just the number.
How much home can I afford?
Affordability comes down to your income, debts, down payment, and current rates. As a guideline, many buyers keep total housing costs near 28% of gross monthly income. We will give you a concrete number based on your actual finances.
How long does the mortgage process take?
From application to closing, most loans take about 30–45 days once you are under contract. Staying responsive on documents is the single biggest factor in keeping your timeline on track.
