Prepare
Save for a Down Payment
A down payment is the difference between the purchase price of the property and the mortgage loan amount. It is deducted from the total amount of your Mortgage and represents the equity or your ownership in the house. Down payment requirements vary depending on the type of Mortgage. For many shoppers, saving up a 20% down payment is not easy, but it can have many financial benefits and save you thousands of dollars in the long run. MHV offers financing options up to 97%.
Get Prepared: Set up an automated savings plan to make it easier to build toward your down payment goal. Automate savings by taking a portion of your paycheck and having it directly deposited into your savings account.
Credit Score
Your credit score is a mathematical assessment of the likelihood you will repay what you borrow. It is based on the information in your credit report, which tracks how well you pay and manage bills. Creditors typically check your score when deciding whether or not to approve your loan application. Scores range from 300 to 850, with a higher score being indicative of less risk.
Get Prepared: We recommend you check your credit report before applying for your Mortgage by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com.
Bonus: Your membership includes complimentary access to Financial Counselors that can review your credit report as well as answer questions about credit scoring, building a strong credit history and correcting any inaccuracies that appear. To speak with a counselor, call toll-free 888.456.2227.
