Your credit history, income, employment, and the property's value will all majorly impact your mortgage approval. For additional questions about any of these factors, connect with a member of our mortgage team to learn more.
Fixed-rate mortgages offer rate and payment security because rates and payments remain the same. This makes budgeting easier because you know your mortgage interest rate will not change, regardless of rate increases and changes in the economy.
Adjustable-rate mortgages, or ARM, typically feature lower rates and payments early on in the loan term. Though rates tend to start lower with adjustable-rate mortgage compared to a fixed-rate mortgage, it is important to remember that your rate will change down the line and will impact your mortgage payment amount. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, so discuss the right option for your budget with our mortgage experts.
Prequalification will not only help assure the seller that you can secure the necessary financing for a home, but it will also help you determine how much house you can afford.
In most cases, your monthly mortgage payments will include other expenses, like interest, property taxes, and homeowner's insurance, in addition to amount being paid towards your principal balance.
