Common questions
How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends on the program. Some qualified buyers may have options starting at 0% to 3.5% down, while other scenarios require more.
Should I get pre-approved before shopping?
Yes. A complete pre-approval helps you understand your range, identify possible issues early, and make a stronger offer.
