Good to Know
Application Questions.
Does applying affect my credit score?
Starting the conversation does not. A formal application includes a credit check, which is a hard inquiry — but mortgage inquiries within a 45-day shopping window count as a single inquiry, and the impact is typically a few points.
How long does approval take?
A pre-approval is often issued within 24 to 48 hours once your documents are in. Full underwriting on a purchase typically runs 21 to 30 days to closing — well-prepared files have closed in 20.
What credit score do I need?
FHA financing can work from the low 600s, and conventional programs reward 680 and above with better pricing. If your score is close to a tier break, there are often quick moves that lift it before we lock.
Can I apply if I am self-employed?
Absolutely — a large share of my borrowers are. Bring two years of business returns and a year-to-date profit-and-loss statement, and we will structure the file around how your income actually works.
