Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good mortgage rate?
Mortgage rates vary based on market conditions, credit score, and loan type. As of 2024, rates between 6-7% are common. Contact a lender for personalized rates.
How much down payment do I need?
Conventional loans typically require 5-20% down. FHA loans may accept as low as 3.5%. A larger down payment reduces your monthly payment and may eliminate PMI.
What is included in my monthly mortgage payment?
Your payment typically includes principal, interest, property taxes, and homeowners insurance (PITI). Some loans also include PMI if your down payment is less than 20%.
Should I choose a 15-year or 30-year mortgage?
A 15-year mortgage has higher monthly payments but lower total interest. A 30-year mortgage offers lower payments with more flexibility. Choose based on your financial goals.
