Good to know
Questions, answered.
When should I get pre-approved?
Before serious house shopping. A pre-approval helps confirm budget, rate hold options, down payment requirements, and documents lenders may ask for.
Is the lowest rate always best?
No. Penalties, prepayment privileges, restrictions, portability, and approval conditions can matter as much as the rate.
What documents are usually needed?
Common starting points include government ID, income documents, down payment history, credit and debt details, and property information.
Can self-employed borrowers qualify?
Often, yes. The best route depends on income history, taxes, bank statements, credit, down payment, property type, and lender requirements.
Can I refinance to consolidate debt?
Sometimes. The right answer depends on equity, penalties, the new payment structure, qualification, and total cost over time.
