Start with the complete monthly picture.
Price is only one part of affordability. We review principal and interest, taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance when applicable, HOA dues and realistic cash to close.
Compare real choices.
A lower down payment can preserve savings. A larger down payment can change payment or mortgage insurance. Seller concessions and rate buydowns solve different problems; we compare the tradeoffs.
Get ready before the offer.
A strong preapproval is based on reviewed information. We identify documentation needs, credit concerns and potential deal breakers early so the offer strategy matches financing.
