Frequently Asked Questions
Every individual or family comes to us at a different phase in their building, buying or refinance process. So we can create customized options just for you, it is best to start with the pre-qualification form.
You will need to gather the following preliminary information for each borrower.
- Most recent 2 years of tax returns, signed (3 years if self-employed)
- Most recent 2 years of W2’s
- 30 days of pay stubs (one if paid monthly, two if bi-monthly)
- Most recent 2 months of bank statements for ALL deposit accounts (checking, savings, IRA’s and other investments you plan to use as assets)
- Valid ID
It depends on the type of loan you pursue. Down payment amounts range from no money down (for VA and USDA loans) to 3.5% (of the purchase price) down for FHA loans and 5% down for conventional loans (only 3% if you are a first-time buyers!).
There is no set income requirement to get pre-qualified or pre-approved for a mortgage. However, your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is a very component of your loan. You will be asked to provide your income information and we will pull your credit during pre-qualification to determine your DTI before and after your proposed new home payment.
Mortgage underwriters require a minimum of 2 years of job history in the same job or a related line of work. An exception to this would be earning a degree and working in that field upon graduation/certification. Other exceptions include those who are retired or permanently disabled.
We’ve got a loan for that! Our Construction to Permanent Loan has just one closing – saving you fees! If you own your own lot/land prior to construction, you can use its value as equity and effectively reduce or eliminate your down payment.
