Frequently Asked Questions

Virginia Home Loan FAQs

How does a mortgage work when buying a house?

A mortgage is simply a loan used to buy a home. To secure a mortgage, you apply for a loan from a mortgage lender who determines the maximum loan amount based on your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and other factors. Once approved, you can get that dream home. You’ll repay your loan over a specified timeframe – often 10-30 years. Each month, you’ll pay on the loan’s principal plus interest.

How do you qualify to buy a home?

To purchase a home, you typically need a stable income source, a low debt-to-income ratio, and proof of liquid assets (i.e., cash). You’ll take all of this information to a mortgage lender, often a bank or home loan company, and they’ll determine how much you can borrow. This number is affected by your monthly income, credit history, bill payment history, and more.

How much of a mortgage can I get approved for?

How much money you can borrow depends on your finances. It also depends on what type of loan you’re applying for. Normally, a high income and high credit score will afford a bigger mortgage.

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

It depends on the loan. Conventional loans generally require at least a 620 while FHA loans with a 10% down payment require a 500 or above. Keep in mind that a higher credit score often means a lower interest rate.
