    FAQs

    Generally speaking, you can purchase a home with a value of two times your annual household income. However, the amount that you can borrow will also depend on your employment history, credit history, current savings, current debts and the amount of down payment you plan to make.
    There is no simple formula to determine the type of mortgage that is best for you. This choice depends on a number of factors, including your current financial profile and how long you plan on keeping your house. We will help you evaluate your profile, give you choices and help you make the most appropriate decision.
    The amount of cash that is necessary depends on a number of items. Generally speaking, though, you will need to supply:
    • Earnest Money: The deposit made when you make an offer on the house
    • Down Payment: A percentage of the cost of the home that is due at closing
    • Closing Costs: Costs associated with purchasing or refinancing a house
    The preapproval process is much more complete than prequalification. For prequalification, the loan officer asks you a few questions and provides you with a prequalification status. Preapproval includes all the steps of a full approval, except for the appraisal and title search. It is verification of income and assets.
    With a fixed-rate mortgage, the interest rate stays the same during the life of the loan. With an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), the interest changes periodically, typically in relation to an index. While the monthly payments you make with a fixed-rate mortgage are relatively stable, payments on an ARM loan will likely change. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of mortgage.
    This is an upfront cash payment required by the lender as part of the charge for the loan, expressed as a percent of the loan amount; e.g., "2 points" means a charge equal to 2 percent of the loan balance.
    A rate lock is a contractual agreement between the lender and buyer. There are four components to a rate lock: loan program, interest rate, points and the length of the lock.
    It is the list of settlement charges that the lender is obliged to provide the borrower within three business days of receiving a complete loan application.
    For most homeowners, the monthly mortgage payment includes three separate parts:
    1. Principal: Repayment on the amount borrowed
    2. Interest: Payment to the lender for the amount borrowed
    3. Taxes & Insurance: Monthly payments made into an escrow account for hazard insurance, property taxes and sometimes Home Owner Association dues
