Mortgage Readiness Check
1/8
Your homebuying goal
Your timeline changes which pressures deserve attention first.
When are you hoping to apply for a mortgage?
Target home
Use the approximate home price you are considering.
What home price are you planning around?
Down payment
This helps estimate the proposed loan amount, LTV, and cash needed.
About how much do you expect to put down?
Household income
Use total gross monthly income before taxes for everyone expected to apply.
What is your approximate gross monthly household income?
Monthly obligations
Include required payments for credit cards, auto loans or leases, student loans, personal loans, support obligations, and other recurring debts. Do not include groceries or utilities.
About how much do you pay toward monthly debts?
Available funds
Include money that could realistically be available for the down payment, closing costs, and reserves.
About how much accessible cash do you expect to have?
Housing payment history
Recent housing-payment problems may receive special underwriting attention.
Have you had a mortgage or rent payment more than 30 days late in the last 12 months?
Potential lender-review items
This does not determine eligibility. It simply identifies whether a lender conversation may be important before applying.
Do any of these currently apply?
