A lot of first time buyers are embarrassed to ask basic mortgage questions.
But honestly, most of the questions people feel weird about asking are completely normal.
Can I buy if I have student loans?
Will my credit card balance be a problem?
Do I actually need 20% down?
What if I already got pre approved at my bank?
None of these are dumb questions.
The important thing is not pretending everything is perfect. The important thing is getting the real numbers reviewed before you start shopping, fall in love with a property, or assume you cannot buy at all.
Your income, debts, credit, savings, and documents are not personal flaws. They are just the numbers we use to build a plan.
