Tennessee Home Loans FAQs

How does a mortgage work when buying a house in Tennessee?

A mortgage is a loan used to purchase a house. To get a mortgage, you’ll apply with a bank, credit union, or mortgage lender like Dash. From there, your lender will determine your maximum loan amount based on your creditworthiness, income, and other factors. Once approved, you can start shopping! After you close on your dream home, you’ll repay your mortgage plus interest over 15 to 30 years.

How do you qualify to buy a home in Tennessee?

To secure a home loan, you’ll need to show proof of your income, creditworthiness, and assets. After reviewing this information, a mortgage lender will give you a spending limit. This dollar amount is impacted by your gross monthly income, outstanding debt balance, payment history, and more.

How much of a mortgage can I get approved for?

It varies. But, as a general rule, prospective homebuyers with higher salaries and better credit scores get approved for bigger mortgages.

What kind of credit score do you need to buy a house?

It depends on the loan type. Typically, conventional loans require at least a 620. Comparatively, since FHA loans are backed by the federal government, they only require a 500 FICO score if you put at least 10% down. (Note: A higher credit score will earn you more favorable loan terms.)

Which type of mortgage is perfect for me?

By now, you’ve probably heard the horror stories about mortgage lending: the neverending paperwork; the harrowing disapproval letters; the wasted time and money. But it doesn’t have to be this way. At Dash, we make securing a mortgage quick, painless, and (dare we say?) enjoyable.

 

No matter if you’re a professional golfer with mounds of debt or a police officer with a clean credit record, we’ll find a home loan that’s a hole in one.
