Your credit score does more than qualify you it directly impacts your rate. Even a small increase can save you thousands over time. Lenders reward consistency, and a higher score leads to better terms, so make your credit work in your favor 💳

Debt-to-income ratio matters more than most buyers realize.

Lenders don’t just look at what you make… they look at what you already owe. Car payments, credit cards, and other debt can shrink your buying power fast.

Your DTI sets the ceiling. Let’s dial in your real number.

What it takes to buy a $1M home today comes down to the numbers. Most buyers need household income in the mid-$200,000s and a monthly payment around $6K to $7K.

You will also need a strong down payment, solid credit, and written pre-approval. Rates and taxes can change the payment, so the exact figure depends on your situation.

Did you know… you don’t need 20% down to buy a home? 🏡

Many buyers put down far less. Conventional can be around 10–14%, FHA as low as 3.5% for qualified buyers, and VA or USDA loans can be 0% down.

20% isn’t a requirement for everyone. Want to know what you can afford? DM me.

🏡✨ CLOSED IN MASSAPEQUA PARK! ✨🏡

Another happy family, another dream home! ❤️

From selling their family home in Brooklyn to helping this amazing brother-sister team find and purchase their beautiful new home in Massapequa Park, we were honored to be there every step of the way.

But our job didn’t stop at finding the home! We helped connect them with an attorney, movers, contractor, and cleaning crew to make their transition as smooth as possible. That’s what we mean when we say we had their backs every step of the way! 🏡❤️

It was truly a pleasure working with this incredible brother-sister team. Wishing you both many happy memories in your beautiful new home! 🥂🔑

Thank you for trusting The Maddaleno Team!
