Understanding Your Mortgage Potential

At Mortgage321, we help you understand how much you can borrow. Knowing your mortgage potential is the first step. This involves looking at your income, expenses, and credit score.

We start by assessing your financial health. This includes your monthly income, existing debts, and other financial commitments. We also look at your credit score. A higher score can help you get a better deal.

Start by checking your credit report for errors. Dispute any inaccuracies you find.

Next, pay off any outstanding debts. This will reduce your debt-to-income ratio. Avoid taking on new debt. Consistent, on-time payments can also boost your score.

Saving for a Larger Down Payment

A larger down payment can increase your mortgage amount. It shows lenders that you are financially responsible. Aim to save at least 20% of the property’s value. This can also help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI).

Set a savings goal and stick to it. Consider cutting back on non-essential expenses. Every little bit helps.

Getting Pre-Approved

Pre-approval gives you a clear idea of how much you can borrow. It also shows sellers that you are a serious buyer. The process involves submitting your financial information to Mortgage321. We will review your details and provide a pre-approval letter, sometimes know as an agreement in principle (AIP).

This step can give you an edge in a competitive market. It also helps you set a realistic budget for your home search.
