Buying a home: what matters most in your mortgage options

Here’s a quick, plain-English breakdown.

• Compare loan types (Conventional, FHA, VA) based on down payment + flexibility.
• Ask about seller credits, points, and how they affect cash to close.
• Get clear on timeline: pre-approval vs underwriting vs clear-to-close.
