Frequently asked home-buying questions

What documents are necessary to apply for a mortgage?

When applying for a mortgage, most lenders require documentation to verify your identity, income, assets, debts, and financial stability. When you work with Arsenal on your mortgage, we'll make sure you have ample time to collect the proper documentation every step of the way.

What are the closing costs associated with getting a morgage?

Closing costs are the fees and expenses you pay to finalize your mortgage and are typically due at closing. Depending on the type of mortgage you are approved for, closing costs can vary. Make sure to ask a mortgage loan officer about your estimated closing costs during your application process.

How does down payment size impact mortgage terms?

Your down payment size affects your interest rate, monthly payments, fees, and overall cost of the loan. A larger down payment generally reduces the amount you need to borrow, which may result in lower monthly payments and lower overall borrowing costs. A larger down payment may also help you qualify for more favorable loan terms, including a lower interest rate. In some cases, it may help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI).

Which mortgage type is best for homebuyers?

There's no single best mortgage type for a buyer. It is dependent on your financial situation. A conventional loan may be the best option if you have a good credit score and some savings for a down payment. Contact us for more information about loan types that fit your financial situation.

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

A fixed-rate mortgage has an interest rate that remains the same for the life of the loan, so your principal and interest payments stay consistent. An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) typically begins with a fixed interest rate for an initial period, after which the rate may adjust periodically based on market conditions. As a result, your payment could increase or decrease over time. Fixed-rate loans offer payment predictability, while ARMs may offer a lower initial interest rate but carry the risk of future rate and payment changes.
