Frequently Asked Questions


What is a mortgage and how does it work?

A mortgage is a loan taken out to buy a property or land. The loan is secured against the value of the property, which means if you are unable to repay the loan, the lender may repossess the property. Mortgages are repaid over a set term, usually between 15-30 years, through monthly payments. For most homeowners, the monthly mortgage payments include three separate parts:

  • Principal: payment on the amount borrowed.
  • Interest: payment to the lender for the amount borrowed.
  • Taxes & Insurance: a portion of your monthly payment is moved into a special escrow account for items like hazard insurance and property taxes. This feature is sometimes optional, in which case the fees will be paid by you directly to the County Tax Assessor and property insurance company.

How do I know how much house I can afford?

Generally speaking, you can purchase a home with a value of two or three times your annual household income. However, the amount that you can borrow will also depend upon your employment history, credit history, current savings and debts, and the amount of down payment you are willing to make. You may also be able to take advantage of special loan programs for first time buyers to purchase a home with a higher value. Give us a call, and we can help you determine exactly how much you can afford.

What is a down payment, and how much do I need?

A down payment is an upfront payment made when purchasing a home, representing a percentage of the home's purchase price. Traditionally, a 20% down payment is recommended, but first-time homebuyers can often qualify for loans with lower down payment requirements, such as 3.5% for FHA loans or even 0% for VA loans.

What is a debt-to-income ratio?

Your debt-to-income ratio is a key factor in determining your ability to qualify for a mortgage. It's a measure of how much you owe each month compared to how much you earn. To calculate your debt-to-income ratio, you'll need to add up all of your monthly debt payments (such as your estimated mortgage, credit cards, student loans, and car loans, etc.) and divide that by your gross monthly income. The resulting percentage is your debt-to-income ratio.

Most lenders prefer to see a debt-to-income ratio of below 43%, but there are some programs that allow for higher ratios. If your debt-to-income ratio is too high, it may be challenging to qualify for a mortgage or to secure favorable loan terms.

Our team can help you calculate your debt-to-income ratio and provide guidance on which loan programs you may qualify for based on your ratio. It's essential to keep your debt-to-income ratio in check, as it's a critical factor in determining your financial health and your ability to repay a mortgage.

Fixed-rate vs. adjustable-rate mortgages: What's the difference?

When considering a mortgage, you'll encounter two primary interest rate options: fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages. A fixed-rate mortgage offers a stable interest rate that remains constant throughout the loan's term, resulting in predictable monthly payments. On the other hand, an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) has an interest rate that fluctuates based on market conditions, typically after an initial fixed-rate period. While an ARM can provide initial lower monthly payments, it's essential to understand that those may increase in the future. We can help you weigh the pros and cons of each option and determine the best fit for your unique situation.

How does your credit score impact mortgage approval?

Your credit score is a significant factor in determining your ability to qualify for a loan, the loan type you may be eligible for, and the interest rate you'll receive. Lenders use your credit score to evaluate the level of risk they may be taking on when lending you money. Generally, higher credit scores may lead to better rates, but it's still possible to qualify for a mortgage loan even if your credit score isn't perfect.

At our company, we understand that credit scores can fluctuate and that there may be various reasons why your score is lower than you'd like. That's why we work with a range of lenders and loan programs to help you find the right mortgage option that suits your unique financial situation. Our team can explain the impact of credit scores on mortgage loan eligibility and help you navigate the process to secure favorable loan terms.

What is the role of a mortgage broker?

A mortgage broker can help simplify the process and advocate on your behalf. As a licensed professional, a mortgage broker works to understand your unique needs and financial goals to identify the best mortgage options for you.

With access to a wide range of lenders and loan products, mortgage brokers have the ability to negotiate better terms and rates on your behalf, as opposed to mortgage bankers who are limited by the products offered by their particular lending institution. This can help save you time and money in the long run. If you're considering a mortgage, let us help you navigate the complex landscape of mortgage options and find the best fit for you.
