“How much do I need?” is really three questions. Here they are with a worked example at $285,000.
Example figures are illustrative and for education — your numbers depend on price, program, county, and negotiation.
From first hello to keys, the typical arc — assuming the house-hunt cooperates.
Every buyer gets this comparison run on their actual numbers. Here’s the shape of it.
Simplified for orientation — details like loan limits (we stay within conforming and FHA limits), DTI ceilings, and rates get worked through together.
Answered the way we’d answer a friend — including the parts that don’t favor us.
Twenty minutes, free, and specific to your numbers — not the internet’s.
Guidance for every chapter — education first, jargon never. We’d rather teach you the math than talk you into a payment.
