Down payment requirements vary depending on the loan type. Some loans, like FHA, require as little as 3.5%, and VA or USDA loans may require no down payment at all.
What documents do I need to get pre-approved?
Typically, you'll need your ID, recent pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns, bank statements, and details about your debts and assets. We’ll provide a full checklist when you apply.

From application to closing, it usually takes 30 days but we have closed in 14. Getting pre-approved ahead of time can help speed things up.
