Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I am ready to buy a home?

You’re likely ready to buy a home if you have a stable income, savings for upfront costs, and feel comfortable with the responsibilities of homeownership. A conversation with an RWM loan officer can help you understand your options and determine what makes sense for your financial goals. For more information, check out our blog: Signs You’re Ready to Buy a Home.

What is the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?

Pre-qualification is an initial estimate of how much you may be able to borrow based on information you provide. Pre-approval is a more detailed review of your finances, including documentation, and can give you a stronger understanding of your homebuying budget. For a deeper look at the differences and why they matter, check out our blog: Pre-Qualification vs. Pre-Approval.

How much money do I need for a down payment?

The amount you’ll need for a down payment depends on the loan program and your financial situation. While some homebuyers choose to put down more, many loan options are available with lower down payment requirements. An RWM loan officer can help you explore your options and determine what works best for your homeownership goals.

What credit score do I need to buy a house?

Credit score requirements vary based on the loan program and other factors, such as your income, assets, and overall financial profile. At RWM Home Loans, we review your complete application to help identify loan options that may fit your needs and homeownership goals.

How long does the home buying process take?

The home buying process can vary depending on your unique situation, the local market, and the type of financing you choose. From getting pre-approved to closing on your new home, the process can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. At RWM Home Loans, we’re here to guide you every step of the way and help keep your loan process moving smoothly.

What are closing costs and how much will they be?

Closing costs are fees and expenses associated with finalizing your home loan and completing the purchase of your home. The amount can vary based on factors like your loan program, property, and location. At RWM Home Loans, we’ll provide a detailed estimate early in the process so you know what to expect before closing.
