5 Mortgage Myths — DEBUNKED!

MYTH: You have to have a 20% down payment to buy a house. TRUTH: Different loans require different down payments—some as low as 0%!

MYTH: Pre-qualified means the same thing as pre-approved. TRUTH: A pre-qualification is a quick assessment of how much money you can borrow based on info you provide—no documentation necessary. A pre-approval letter indicates you’ve provided financial information to a lender and they have approved you for a designated loan amount. Serious about buying? Get pre-approved.

MYTH: You need a stellar credit score to get a mortgage. TRUTH: For a conventional loan backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the minimum score required is 620. The lowest credit score to buy a house with an FHA loan is 580. Mortgages are out there for folks with a wide range of credit scores. Plus, there are things you can do to improve it along the way.

MYTH: You don’t need to shop mortgage rates. They’re the same no matter where you go. TRUTH: Just like any major purchase, shop around! Not all mortgage rates are the same. Closing costs and other fees can vary from one lender to another.

MYTH: It’s cheaper to rent a home than it is to own a home. TRUTH: Owning builds equity, offers tax benefits, and gives you a predictable payment year after year. Not to mention, buying now allows you to lock in historically low rates.

Don’t be fooled by every mortgage myth you hear! Talk to folks who know the truth and can help make homeownership a reality for you.

So, you're ready to buy a home? If you've been following along for a while, you already know the first step: Getting pre-approved for a mortgage. ⁣
⁣
Your pre-approval will tell you what you can afford and what your monthly payment will be, so it's important to determine this before you start searching for your new home. ⁣
⁣
Pre-approval is good for about 30-90 days, so once you're ready, take these first 3 steps to get it done. (Don't forget to bookmark this post for later!)
