Common Questions

First-Time Buyer FAQ

It depends on the loan type. FHA loans require 3.5% down, Conventional loans as low as 3%, and VA or USDA loans require zero down. On a $400,000 home, that could be as little as $12,000 to $14,000, and Florida assistance programs can bring that number much lower. Many of our first-time buyers close with less than $5,000 out of pocket.

FHA loans accept scores as low as 580. Conventional loans typically need 620 or higher. VA loans have no official minimum from the VA, though most lenders look for 580 to 620. If your score needs work, our mortgage team can suggest steps that often improve scores within 60 to 90 days.

Pre-approval usually takes one to three business days. Finding a home depends on the market and your preferences, but typically a few weeks to a couple of months. Once your offer is accepted, closing takes about 30 to 45 days. Because your realtor and mortgage broker are already working together, things tend to move faster.

Yes. Student loans do not disqualify you. Lenders look at your debt-to-income ratio, which measures your total monthly payments against your income. As long as your combined debts stay within acceptable limits (usually 43% to 50% depending on the program), you can qualify.

In most cases, the seller pays the buyer’s agent commission, so working with a realtor costs you nothing out of pocket. Your agent is there to represent your interests, negotiate on your behalf, and make sure you are getting a fair deal.
