Frequently Asked Questions
We apply the standard 28/36 rule: housing costs at or below 28% of gross monthly income, and total debt at or below 36%. From that monthly budget we back out a purchase price using a 6.74% 30-year fixed rate, typical Burleson-area property taxes and insurance, and your available funds toward down payment and closing costs. It's an initial planning number, not a loan approval.
Pre-approval: a lender's written estimate of what they'd lend you. DTI: your monthly debt payments divided by gross monthly income. Down payment: cash you put toward the purchase price. Closing costs: fees due at closing, typically 2-4% of the price. PMI: insurance lenders require below 20% down. Rate lock: freezing your quoted rate for a set period.
