MYTH #1

I need a 20% down payment.

REALITY #1

This goes back to the days when lenders had far fewer options. Now, you can get a mortgage with as little as 3% down and still have a low monthly payment.

MYTH #2

It will take a lot of time.

REALITY #2

We can give you a pre-approval letter in minutes. We can close in 8 days.

MYTH #3

My bank is the best place to get a mortgage.

REALITY #3

Banks don’t offer many mortgage choices. We can help you find the best options and the lowest rates.

MYTH #4

I need to be “settled down” first.

REALITY #4

Even with a low down payment, a monthly mortgage payments are often lower than rent prices. Plus when you buy a home, you’re paying yourself, not your landlord.
