Mortgage FAQs

Questions about buying a home

Homeownership questions are normal. Here are the ones Patricia hears most often , answered directly.

What credit score do I need to buy a home?
+

It depends on the loan type. FHA loans can go as low as 580 with a 3.5% down payment, while conventional loans typically require 620+. But your score is only part of the picture , Patricia reviews your full situation and helps you understand exactly where you stand and what to do next.

How much money do I need to buy my first home?
+

Down payment requirements vary by loan type. Some programs require as little as 3 to 3.5%. You'll also need to account for closing costs, which typically range from 2 to 5% of the loan amount. Patricia will walk you through the real numbers based on your specific situation and goals.

What's the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?
+

Pre-qualification is an early estimate of what you may be able to borrow based on basic information , it's the starting point. Pre-approval is a more thorough process involving income verification and a credit check. Pre-approval carries more weight with sellers. Patricia guides you through both steps clearly.

My credit isn't great , is homeownership still possible?
+

In most cases, yes, but it may take some preparation. Patricia specializes in helping clients who aren't quite ready yet. She'll review your credit report, identify specific areas to improve, and build a realistic plan to get you mortgage-ready. Many clients achieve this in 6 to 12 months.

When should I consider refinancing?
+

Refinancing can make sense if interest rates have dropped since you bought, your credit score has improved significantly, you want to switch from an adjustable to a fixed rate, or you need to access equity in your home. Patricia will help you run the numbers to see if refinancing makes financial sense for your specific situation.

How long does the mortgage process take?
+

From pre-qualification to closing, the mortgage process typically takes 30 to 60 days once you have an accepted offer. If you need credit positioning first, that preparation phase can take a few months. Patricia will give you an honest timeline based on your current situation so you can plan accordingly.
