Mortgage Questions, Answered
Clear, honest answers to help you make informed decisions.
Most conventional loans require a minimum credit score of 620, though you’ll get better rates with 740+. FHA loans accept scores as low as 580 (or 500 with 10% down). VA and USDA loans typically require 620+. If your score is below these thresholds, I can provide a personalized credit improvement plan.
Down payment requirements vary by loan type: as little as 3% for conventional, 3.5% for FHA, 0% for VA and USDA (if eligible). Jumbo loans typically require 10-20%. I’ll help you explore options and down payment assistance programs to find the best fit.
The typical timeline is 30-45 days from application to closing. Pre-approval takes 24-72 hours. Once you’re under contract, we target a 30-day close. Complex scenarios may take longer — I’ll set clear expectations upfront.
You’ll need recent pay stubs (last 30 days), W-2s and tax returns (last 2 years), bank statements (last 2 months), photo ID, and documentation for any additional income or assets. Self-employed borrowers will also need profit/loss statements and business tax returns.
Pre-approval carries more weight — it’s a conditional commitment based on verified documents and a credit check. Pre-qualification is a quick, informal estimate. Serious buyers should get pre-approved before making offers, especially in competitive markets.
Absolutely. Self-employed borrowers typically need 2 years of tax returns showing stable or increasing income. We also offer bank statement programs that use deposits instead of tax returns — great for business owners with significant write-offs.
