Frequently Asked Questions
How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends on the loan type. FHA loans require as little as 3.5% down, USDA loans can be 0% down for eligible properties, and conventional loans typically require 5-20% down. For investment properties, expect 20-25% down. We’ll help you explore all options.
What’s my buying power in this market?
We’ll connect you with lenders who can provide accurate pre-approval based on your income, credit, and financial situation. This gives you a clear budget and makes you a stronger buyer.
How long does the buying process take?
From offer acceptance to closing typically takes 30-45 days, though cash purchases can close faster. The search process varies based on your criteria and market conditions.
Should I buy now or wait for rates to drop?
Timing the market perfectly is impossible. If you’re financially ready and find the right property, buying now can make sense. You can always refinance if rates drop significantly. We’ll help you analyze your specific situation.
