Understand your homebuying budget and the questions to discuss with a licensed mortgage lender.
Where to start
Understand your homebuying budget and the questions to discuss with a licensed mortgage lender. Use the buying steps below to identify your priorities and the questions to discuss with your real estate team.
Build a complete budget
Consider the payment, property taxes, insurance, association charges and ongoing maintenance together. Keep moving costs and a reserve in view.
Compare written loan offers
Ask lenders to explain the rate, annual percentage rate, points, lender credits and closing costs. Compare like-for-like loan scenarios.
Explore your options
Ask which conventional or government-backed programs you may qualify for, what documentation is needed and which costs apply. Eligibility and terms are determined by the lender.
Coordinate your timeline
Stay in touch about requested documents, underwriting conditions and the expected closing schedule. Ask before making financial changes during your application.
Explore your Texas market
Compare properties in the location that fits your plans. For pricing or availability, ask for current information about the specific home and area.
