Three things to do before you shop
Clarify your budget
Look at your price range and your monthly obligations, including HOA dues, property tax and insurance, not just the loan payment.
Prepare your documents
Lenders typically ask for income, asset, debt and identification documents. Gathering them early keeps things moving.
Line up financing with your search
When your financing and home search move together, you can make offers with confidence and meet deadlines in escrow.
Financing steps to understand
What to expect
Preapproval comes first
A lender review early in the process helps you understand your range and shows sellers you are serious.
Loan terms need individual review
Rates, fees and loan programs vary with your credit, down payment, property and other factors, so each situation is reviewed individually.
Keep milestones on schedule
Responding to document requests promptly helps you stay on track for appraisal, underwriting and closing.
