What is the difference between a fixed-rate and an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM)?

A fixed-rate mortgage has an interest rate that remains the same for the life of the loan, providing consistent monthly payments. An adjustable-rate (ARM), on the other hand, has an interest rate that may change after the initial period, causing your payments to increase or decrease over time.

How much of a down payment do I need for a mortgage?

The required down payment depends on the type of loan. Conventional loans can require as little as 3% down, FHA loans as low as 3.5%, and VA and USDA loans may not require any down payment. A larger down payment can help reduce your monthly payments and potentially avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI).

What is private mortgage insurance (PMI) and do I need it?

PMI is insurance that protects the lender if you default on your loan. It is typically required for conventional loans when the down payment is less than 20%. You may be able to cancel PMI once you reach 20% equity in your home.

How is my mortgage interest rate determined?

Your mortgage interest rate is influenced by several factors, including your credit score, the size of your down payment, the loan type, the loan amount, and the current market conditions. A higher credit score and larger down payment typically result in lower interest rates.

Can I get pre-approved for a mortgage before I start house hunting?

YES. Getting pre-approved is highly recommended. A pre-approval provides an estimate of how much you can borrow and helps you understand your budget when shopping for homes. It also shows sellers that you’re a serious buyer, which can strengthen your offer.
