How do I get a Home Loan?
Getting a home loan can seem overwhelming, but it can be broken down into several manageable steps. Here’s what you need to do to get a home loan:
Check your credit score:
Your credit score is a critical factor that lenders use to determine your eligibility for a home loan. Aim to have a credit score of 620 or higher to qualify for a conventional loan. You can get preapproved with a score as low as 500.
Gather your documentation:
Your loan officer will require documentation such as tax returns, W-2 forms, pay stubs, and bank statements. Have these ready to provide to your LO.
Get pre-approved:
Getting pre-approved for a loan will give you an idea of how much you can borrow and what your interest rate will be.
Choose your loan type:
There are many types of home loans, including conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans. Choose the type of loan that best fits your needs and financial situation.
Close the loan:
If your loan is approved, you will need to sign the loan documents and provide any necessary closing costs before the loan can be funded.
Remember, the home loan process can be complicated and time-consuming, but working with a reputable lender can help make the process smoother. Be prepared, ask questions, and make sure you understand the terms of your loan before signing on the dotted line.

Do I Qualify?
To qualify for a mortgage, lenders typically require that you have a debt-to-income ratio of “43/49.” This means that no more than 43% of your total monthly income (from all sources, before taxes) can go toward your new mortgage payment, and no more than 49.99% of your monthly income can go toward your total monthly debt (including your mortgage payment). VA and FHA loans even allow for higher debt ratios on a case by case basis.
