What will it take for you to secure the home of your dreams? Beyond searching for the right property, you need to be prepared for the process of applying and qualifying for the right mortgage. Securing a home loan can be one of the more challenging and confusing aspects of making a purchase, especially when you are looking to buy your first home. Fortunately, FHL Texas can help you throughout this process. One important early step is the application process is the pre-approval, something we can help you with at no cost! Once you have the pre-approval, you can look at locking in the right interest rate and payment terms to make sure your new home is the right space and the right price for you!
What Kind Of Mortgage Can You Expect To Receive?
Fluctuations in home prices and interest rates can make it hard to anticipate what kind of loan terms you will receive. There are times when the market favors buyers as well as times when there are more advantages for sellers. Ideally, you will start your search at a time when better rates and prices are within reach. With that said, not everyone has the luxury of patiently waiting until the market gives them favorable terms. Fortunately, you can still count on guidance throughout the loan application process that helps you secure the right home and stay within your means. That can start with a no-cost pre-approval process where we go through your financial information, credit details, and more to see what terms you can secure.
The Value Of A No-Cost Pre-Approval
As you start to search for information on mortgages, you can come across the terms pre-approval and pre-qualification. A pre-qualification can be helpful, but it is less reliable than a pre-approval, as it takes less of your information into account. When you secure a pre-approval, more steps to review your credit history, obligations, and income occur, which means you have a better idea of what to expect from lenders.
We understand how hard it is to be sure you are ready to take on a home loan. This can be a particularly challenging issue for prospective first-time homebuyers, as they come in with less credit history and without the windfall of a home sale to bring down the price of the property they want to purchase. By giving access to pre-approvals at no cost, we can make an important but challenging step feel more accessible!
We Can Recommend Different Loan Terms And Types For You
Beyond helping you with your pre-approval, we can provide details about the different loan types you qualify for, their advantages, and what you will be expected to provide. We connect people with a wide array of both conventional and government-backed FHA loans, and for qualifying buyers we can also help with VA loans. Both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages are available, along with different options like balloon loans and jumbo loans to secure more expensive properties. You can also learn about what rates are available based on your down payment—for people who have less to spend up front, down payments as low as 3% can be enough to secure terms!
