Credit and Mortgage Financing
Credit is the ability of a customer to obtain goods or services before payment, based on the trust that you will make payments in the future. When you borrow money to buy a property, you’ll be required to prove that you have a good history of managing your credit.
Should you get preapproved for a Mortgage?
A preapproval is the first look at your overall financial health. It is used to point you in the right direction before you’re ready to apply for a mortgage. Learn more about the preapproval process here.
Fixed-Rate or Variable-Rate Mortgage
A fixed-rate mortgage has your interest rate "fixed" for a certain term, anywhere from 6 months to 10 years, with the typical term being five years. Learn more about fixed and variable rate mortgages here.
