FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A lender can pre-approve you for a specific amount based on your income, credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and savings. As a general rule, your mortgage payment should not exceed 28–30% of your gross monthly income.

The amount depends on the type of loan. Conventional loans typically require 3–20%, FHA loans need at least 3.5%, and VA or USDA loans may offer 0% down options.

What is the best time to sell my home?

Spring and summer are typically the best times to sell, as more buyers are actively searching. However, selling in the winter or fall can be beneficial due to less competition.
