Check Your Financial Health

When determining if qualify for a mortgage, lenders take into account several important factors. Your income, employment, debt, credit score, assets, and type of property all affect whether you are approved for a mortgage. First review your credit reports before proceeding with the mortgage application process.

Your credit score will be a big factor in getting a good deal on a home loan, or even getting approved at all. Most conventional lenders consider 620 to 640 to be the minimum credit score required for a mortgage. Some government-backed loans will let you borrow with a credit score as low as 500 if you meet other criteria. 

As lender requirements are fairly standardized, Hawk Mortgage Group can give you a good idea of how much you can borrow after a short conversation. Before you begin the mortgage application process, make sure you are financially ready to become a homeowner.

Estimate Your Debt-To Income Ratio

Your total debt obligations, both current and future, should never exceed 43 percent of your gross monthly income. Consider your financial situation and talk with a financial advisor to determine how much money you can spend comfortably. To calculate your debt-to-income ratio, divide your monthly repayments by your monthly gross income. Most lenders have set debt to income ratios for conventional and FHA loans.

• FHA Loans: The Federal Housing Administration insures FHA loans. They provide additional significant benefits to homebuyers with less-than-perfect credit. (As low as 500) Because of the government backing, average FHA interest rates are typically lower than average conventional mortgage rates.
• VA loans, which are backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, are only available to active service members or veterans. These loans frequently do not require a down payment. Hawk Mortgage is ready to assist you at every stage. Your VA home loan is partially guaranteed by the VA, which enables Hawk to offer you better terms.
• Fixed Rate-Loans: The interest rate on a Fixed-Rate Mortgage stays the same throughout the life of the loan. This means that your monthly mortgage payment stays the same each month. For home buyers who plan to stay in a home for at least ten years, this mortgage option is a secure way to make sure payments don’t become unaffordable. 
• Adjustable-Rate Loans: Low starting rates on adjustable-rate mortgages which have a lower starting interest rate, resulting in a lower monthly payment are fixed at first but may rise over time. An adjustable rate mortgage can save you money if you don’t intend to live there for a long time.
