Buying a home or reviewing your current mortgage in Westerville, Columbus or elsewhere in Ohio? Start with the questions that help you understand your budget, compare loans and prepare for the next step.
Start with your monthly take-home income and regular expenses, then allow room for savings, repairs and unexpected bills. A housing budget should include principal, interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance and any mortgage insurance or association dues. A lender’s maximum approval amount may be higher than the payment that feels comfortable for you.
No. Some conventional programs permit a smaller down payment, and eligible FHA, VA or USDA borrowers may have other low-down-payment or no-down-payment options. Eligibility and mortgage insurance differ by program. Ask for a comparison that includes the monthly payment, cash needed at closing and money left in savings—not just the minimum down payment.
Lenders use these terms differently. Ask whether your income, assets and credit have been verified, which conditions remain and when the letter expires. Either letter can help you plan a purchase, but it is not an unconditional loan commitment. Final approval also depends on the property and completing the lender’s requirements.
The lender will provide a checklist based on your income and loan type. Common requests include identification, recent income records, bank or investment statements and information about existing debts. Business owners may also need tax returns and business financials. Use the lender’s secure application or document portal for sensitive information.
Compare Loan Estimates for the same loan amount, loan type and rate-lock period. Look at the interest rate, APR, points, lender charges, mortgage insurance, estimated total payment and cash to close. A lower advertised rate may require higher upfront costs. Ask the lender to explain differences before choosing an offer.
Self-employment does not automatically require a special loan. You may qualify for a conventional or government-backed mortgage using documented business income. If a standard income calculation does not fit your situation, a bank statement or other alternative-documentation program may be worth comparing. Business deposits are not automatically the same as qualifying income.
Ohio has state and local assistance programs with different income, purchase-price, property and lender requirements. Assistance may be a grant or a loan with repayment or forgiveness conditions. Check current eligibility and funding before relying on it. Our first-time homebuyer and down payment assistance page explains the questions to ask.
Military service or eligible public-service work may open up additional options, but there is no single set of “Hero Loan” terms. A VA loan, OHFA’s Ohio Heroes program and a private lender offer are different programs. Confirm the exact program, eligible occupation, costs and benefit in writing.
The schedule depends on the loan, the property and how quickly required information is available. Appraisal, title work, underwriting conditions and assistance-program approvals can affect timing. Ask for a transaction-specific schedule before agreeing to a closing date, and tell your loan officer promptly about changes to your income, debts or purchase contract.
Compare the new loan’s costs and remaining balance with keeping your current mortgage. A lower payment can come from extending the repayment term, which may increase total interest. Consider how long you expect to keep the loan, when savings could recover closing costs and whether you would be giving up a favorable existing rate.
A cash-out refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a larger loan. A HELOC is a separate credit line secured by your home, usually with a variable rate. Compare the effect on your current mortgage, total payments, fees and repayment schedule. Both use your home as security, so missed payments can put it at risk.
Use the site’s application link or schedule a conversation with Rob Slayton. Have your approximate budget, purchase or refinance goals, property location and timing ready. Ask which programs are currently available for your circumstances and request a clear explanation of costs and next steps before making a decision.
