One of the most common questions I get from homebuyers is:
π βHow much home can I afford?β
Many buyers guess their budget or rely on online calculators, but the only way to truly know is through mortgage prequalification.
π What Happens When You Get Prequalified?
- We review your income, credit, and debts.
- We estimate how much you can borrow.
- You get a prequalification letter, which helps you stand out to sellers.

π‘ Key Factors That Affect How Much You Can Afford:
β Your Income β Lenders look at your monthly earnings to determine loan eligibility.
β Your Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI) β The percentage of your income that goes toward debt payments. The lower, the better!
β Your Down Payment β A higher down payment can lower your monthly mortgage payment.
β Your Credit Score β Higher scores often lead to better loan terms.
