Frequently Asked Questions
How long does pre-approval take?
Typically 24–72 hours once all required documentation has been received.
Will checking my credit hurt my score?
A mortgage inquiry generally has a minimal impact and multiple mortgage inquiries within a shopping window are typically treated as one inquiry by most scoring models.
What credit score do I need?
Loan programs vary. Many conventional loans prefer higher scores, while FHA, VA, and USDA loans may allow lower qualifying scores depending on other factors.
