Know Your Budget

Calculate your monthly payment including all costs. A general rule is to keep housing costs below 30% of your gross monthly income.

📊

Consider All Costs

Factor in property taxes, insurance, PMI, HOA fees, and maintenance costs. These can add hundreds to your monthly payment.

Save for Down Payment

Aim for at least 20% down to avoid PMI. Larger down payments also reduce your monthly payment and total interest.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Loans

Find answers to common questions about home loans and mortgages:

What is a mortgage?

A mortgage is a loan used to purchase a home. The home serves as collateral, and you repay the loan with interest over a set period, typically 15 or 30 years.

What is PMI and when is it required?

PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) is required when your down payment is less than 20% of the home price. It protects the lender if you default on the loan.

What is a good debt-to-income ratio for a mortgage?

Most lenders prefer a DTI ratio below 43% for mortgage approval. Lower DTI ratios generally qualify for better interest rates.
