Hello there, future homeowner!
Money talk might not be the most exciting part of buying a home, but it’s a must — and I promise to keep it simple. Lenders just need a clear picture of your finances, so gather your recent pay stubs, W-2s, and tax returns. These documents are like your financial passport, showing you’re ready to step into homeownership.
Why Do Lenders Care About This?
Lenders just want to be sure your monthly bills aren’t too much before adding a mortgage. Think of them as friendly guides looking out for you. When you manage your money well, they’re more likely to say “Yes!” to your loan.
Let’s Dive Into Conventional Loans: Your Steady Path to Homeownership
Starting your mortgage adventure? Exciting! It might feel a little like a rollercoaster — with paperwork and steps along the way — but don’t sweat it. I’ll be your guide to make this ride smooth and fun.
Your Credit Score: The Key to Unlocking Your Loan
First up, your credit score — think of it as your financial report card. To qualify for a conventional loan, you’ll want a score of at least 620. The higher, the better! It’s like reaching for that last cookie — the better your score, the quicker we get things moving.
Save Today, Smile Tomorrow
Here’s a great tip: if you can put down 20% or more on your home, you get to skip paying mortgage insurance. That means fewer monthly expenses sneaking up on you — more cash stays in your pocket, more smiles on your face, and more funds for making your new house a home!

Think of a conventional loan like your trusty GPS — it may not be flashy, but it reliably guides you right to your dream home’s doorstep. Every smart decision you make today is one step closer to turning that key tomorrow.
