Many first-time buyers think they need 20% down, but that’s not always true! Depending on the loan, you could qualify for as little as 3% down—or even 0% if you’re eligible for a VA or USDA loan. There are also down payment assistance programs that can help. Let’s explore the best option for you!
Both are important, but they play different roles. Your credit score helps lenders determine how risky it is to give you a loan, while your income proves you can afford the monthly payments. Even if your credit score isn't perfect, there are loans designed to work with various credit levels. Building up your score can help, but don’t let it hold you back from exploring your options!
This can be tricky, but here’s a rule of thumb: your monthly housing costs (including taxes and insurance) should be no more than 28% of your gross income. But affordability is personal. Let’s look at your full financial picture and future goals to find a number that works for you.
Timing the market is tough, even for experts! While interest rates and home prices fluctuate, your personal readiness is key. If you're financially prepared and ready for stability, it could be the perfect time. Remember, renting often means you're paying someone else’s mortgage—why not build equity for yourself?
My experience with Residential Mortgage was great. Mr. Hungerford and his team provided good communication and education regarding the home buying process. I strongly recommend their service. Being a first time home owner was foreign to me. After going through the process with Residential Mortgage Corporation, I feel like I can help other people who are going through the same process. To this day, Mr. Hungerford still teaches me things I need to be aware of as a new home owner.

They helped me with and explained every step of my home buying process. They continuously followed-up with me to make sure they answered all my questions and concerns. Look, the home buying process can be overwhelming, but the Residential Mortgage Corporation lead by Derick Hungerford makes it tolerable and puts you at ease during the entire process..
