Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the mortgage process take?

From pre-approval to closing, the typical timeline is 30–45 days. Pre-approval alone can happen in as little as 24 hours.

What documents do I need to get started?

You will need recent pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns (2 years), bank statements (2–3 months), and a valid government-issued ID.

Can I get a mortgage if I am self-employed?

Yes. Self-employed borrowers typically need 2 years of tax returns and a CPA letter. We have experience helping self-employed Haitian business owners qualify.

Do I need a perfect credit score?

No. FHA loans accept scores as low as 580, and we work with buyers across a wide range of credit profiles. We can also help you improve your score before applying.

Is there help for the down payment?

Yes. There are state and local down payment assistance programs available in many areas. We will identify every program you qualify for during your consultation.
