  • Annual Income: How much money you make each year.
  • Down Payment: Most mortgage lenders require a cash down payment of 5 percent, 10 percent or 20 percent of the sale price. Some lenders have zero-down mortgage programs.
  • Monthly Debts: How much money you owe on debts each month.
  • Program/Rate: This is how long you want to take to pay off the mortgage. With the traditional 30-year fixed rate mortgage your monthly payments are lower than they would be on a shorter term loan. A 15-year fixed-rate mortgage has higher monthly payments but allows you to repay your loan twice as fast and save a ton of interest costs compared to a 30-year loan
  • Mortgage Rate: This is the percentage of interest that you will pay to borrow the money to buy the home.
  • PMI: This stands for ‘private mortgage insurance.’ Most lenders require private mortgage insurance (PMI) for loans with loan-to-value (LTV) percentages in excess of 80% (the buyer put down less than 20% of the home’s value upon purchase). It protects lenders against loss if a borrower defaults.If you have any questions, call one of our experienced Realtors® today.
