Loan term
The amount of time (usually expressed in years) in which a borrower is required to make monthly payments toward a home loan.

Home Insurance
A required policy covering a home, the property, and its contents against loss or damage including “liability” coverage against accidents in the home or on the property.
HOA Costs
HOA dues are a monthly or annual fee paid by owners of certain types of residential properties. They most often cover shared property maintenance and improvements but may vary by community.
Find a loan that fits your budget
There’s a lot of work that goes into affording a mortgage payment. For many borrowers, that means creating a budget and eliminating unnecessary monthly expenses. Thankfully, you can still obtain a home loan without completely changing your lifestyle.
Our salary-based mortgage consultants are proud to offer various low down payment options, including FHA and VA loans. This allows you to start building equity right away even if you don’t have a large down payment.
Improve your financial standing
Credit score and debt-to-income ratio (DTI) are significant factors when it comes to mortgage affordability. Improve these figures by paying down high-interest debt, staying current with bills, and disputing any errors on your credit report. Increasing your income with a promotion or second job also decreases your borrowing risk.
