Frequently Asked Questions

How do I decide between a 15-year and 30-year mortgage?
A 15-year mortgage has higher monthly payments but saves significantly on total interest. Use our mortgage calculator to compare both options side by side and see how much you save over the life of the loan.
How much should I save for a down payment?
Most lenders recommend 20% to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI), but many programs accept as little as 3-5%. Our down payment calculator helps you see how different amounts affect your monthly payment and total cost.
What factors affect my mortgage interest rate?
Your credit score, loan-to-value ratio, loan term, and current market conditions all influence rates. A higher credit score and larger down payment typically secure better rates.
