Applying for a mortgage doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

Taking a little time to prepare can make the entire process smoother and less stressful. When you're informed and organized, you’re more confident, better positioned to make strong offers, and less likely to hit surprises along the way.

A little prep now can save time, money, and headaches later—and help you move forward knowing you’re truly ready for the next step in your homebuying journey.

I don’t know what to say that hasn’t already been said, but my heartfelt condolences go out to the families of Fletcher Merkel, 8 years old and Harper Moyski, 10 years old. I cannot even begin to fathom the pain their parents are feeling, or the terror these children must have felt in what should have been the safest of places. My heart goes out to their families, who now have to live with unimaginable loss. Of those injured,14 are children, ages 6-15, and 3 elderly parishioners in their 80’s. My prayers are with them to find strength and healing. In my attempt to do something, however small, I want to share a few of the trusted ways the families and community have set up for people to help:
-Annunciation Response Fund -text ACF1 to 41444
Catholic Community Foundation of Minnesota who are supporting the affected families
-Verified fundraisers for injured survivors are being collected on GoFundMe’s Official Minneapolis Catholic School shooting hub.
https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/minneapolis-catholic-school-shooting-relief
As new family funds are verified, they will be added to the centralized hub.
Even if you cannot give, keeping Fletcher and Harper’s names alive, speaking them, remembering them, matters.

When you put down less than 20% on your Conventional Loan, your lender will require you to pay Private Mortgage Insurance, also known as . Luckily, this additional cost won't last forever. Once you reach 22% equity, your lender will automatically cancel your PMI.
