Loan types

The main kinds of home loan, in plain terms

01

Conventional

A loan not backed by the government. Terms and requirements depend on your credit and down payment.

02

FHA

Government-backed, with more flexible credit and down payment requirements, and mortgage insurance premiums.

03

VA

For eligible service members, veterans and some spouses, often with no down payment required.

04

USDA

For eligible homes in qualifying rural areas, with income limits.

05

Jumbo

For loan amounts above the limits that apply to standard loans, usually with stricter requirements.

06

Fixed or adjustable rate

A fixed rate stays the same. An adjustable rate can change after an initial period.

What to line up first

Six things to get ready before you make an offer

01

A pre-approval

A lender reviews your finances and tells you roughly what you can borrow. It carries more weight than a quick estimate.

02

Your down payment and closing costs

Know how much cash you will need on top of the price.

03

A look at your credit

Check your reports for errors early, while there is time to fix them.

04

Your paperwork

Pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements and ID are typically asked for.

05

Your full monthly budget

Include property taxes, insurance and upkeep, not just the loan payment.

06

Steady finances until closing

Avoid new debt or big changes before the loan is final.

What lenders look at

Six things that shape what you are offered

01

Your credit history

Payment record, existing accounts and how much credit you use.

02

Your income and job stability

Whether you can comfortably make the payments.

03

Your debts compared with your income

Lenders look closely at this ratio.

04

Your down payment

A larger one can improve the terms.

05

Your savings

Reserves after closing can reassure a lender.

06

The property

An appraisal confirms the home is worth what you are paying.

Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

What's the difference between prequalification and pre-approval?

Prequalification is a quick estimate based on what you tell a lender. Pre-approval involves checking documents and credit, and generally carries more weight with sellers.

How much do I need for a down payment?

It depends on the loan type and lender. Some programs allow a small down payment, and some states and cities offer help to first-time buyers. A professional can explain what may apply to you.

Should I get pre-approved before I start house hunting?

It usually helps. It shows roughly how much you may be able to borrow and lets you act quickly on the right home.

Will it hurt my credit?

A lender will check your credit, which can cause a small and usually temporary dip. Rate shopping within a short window is generally treated as a single inquiry by scoring models.

What should I have ready?

Your income and employment details, a sense of your savings and debts, your ZIP code, and the price range you have in mind. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a lender?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It is not a lender, broker or financial institution, and it doesn't make credit decisions.

Will several lenders call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified professional contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
