FAQ

Mortgage Questions Answered

Clear answers to common home loan and refinance questions. Have another question? Call Megan.

What services do you offer?

We specialize in a wide range of mortgage solutions, including conventional loans, FHA, VA, jumbo loans, and more. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, self-employed, or looking to refinance, we have tailored options to fit your needs.

How do I get started with a mortgage application?

Getting started is easy. You can reach out to us for a quick strategy session where we’ll discuss your goals and gather some initial details. From there, we guide you through pre-approval, document collection, and the entire loan process step by step.

Am I a strong candidate for a conventional home loan?

Borrowers with stable W2 income, a 620+ credit score, manageable debt, and documented assets are typically strong candidates for conventional financing with competitive rates and flexible terms.

How much down payment do I realistically need to buy a home?

Many qualified buyers purchase with 3% to 5% down on conventional loans or 3.5% down on FHA loans, depending on credit profile and overall financial strength.

Is an FHA loan right for my situation?

FHA loans are often a good fit for first time buyers or borrowers with moderate credit who want lower down payment options and more flexible qualification guidelines.

How do lenders evaluate self employed income?

Lenders typically average the last two years of net income shown on tax returns. Consistent earnings, organized financials, and stable business history strengthen approval.

Can I qualify if I own a business or receive 1099 income?

Yes. Self employed and 1099 borrowers can qualify with proper documentation, steady income history, and strong credit. Clean records help ensure smoother underwriting.

What makes an investment property loan approval strong?

Strong investor files usually include solid credit, adequate reserves, rental income support, and appropriate down payment, typically 15% to 25% depending on loan structure.

When does refinancing make financial sense?

Refinancing may make sense when you can lower your interest rate, reduce your monthly payment, shorten your loan term, or improve overall financial positioning.

What is the first step to get started?

The first step is a mortgage pre approval. This includes reviewing income, credit, and assets to determine eligibility and provide a clear purchase or refinance strategy.
