Frequently asked questions
Who handles my Northeastern property search and financing?
Frank Carroll is the local real estate professional for the Northeastern market. Matt Dean handles financing where state eligibility applies. Confirm program, property and borrower eligibility before applying.
Can parents buy a home for a college student?
Yes, but who lives in the home, who owns it, and who signs the loan determine which financing paths to explore. A parent-only purchase is not automatically an owner-occupied loan. Start with the occupancy plan and have the lender review the structure.
Can rental income help qualify for a mortgage?
Some investment-property programs use a rent coverage calculation. Conventional programs apply their own rental-income documentation and adjustments. Expected roommate payments are not automatically qualifying income.
How much should I put down?
Compare cash to close, monthly cost and reserves using more than one down-payment assumption. The minimum depends on the program, occupancy, property and borrower. A calculator does not determine eligibility.
Are these mortgage rates or approvals?
No. Rates in the tools are editable planning assumptions. Request a personalized review and compare lender disclosures before choosing a loan.
