Student loan debt doesn't mean homeownership is off the table.

Qualifying comes down to factors like your debt‑to‑income ratio, credit score, income, and down payment-not just the balance of your student loans. With today's more flexible guidelines, many borrowers are surprised by what's possible with conventional, FHA, and VA loans.

If you're wondering where you stand, let's talk through your options.

Does a 0.25% rate difference really matter?

While a quarter‑point won't make or break every purchase, it can add up over time depending on your loan amount, budget, and how long you plan to stay in the home. The key is understanding when to focus on the rate and when other factors carry more weight.

In general, a small rate change matters most when your budget or debt‑to‑income ratio is tight, or when you're stretching into a higher price range. In other situations, things like the home itself, your long‑term plans, or overall affordability may matter more than chasing a 0.25% difference.

If you're comparing options, let's run the math together.
