Financing a Home Purchase
How much money will a lender provide for my home purchase?
The total loan amount a lender will agree to provide is directly tied to your income and expenses. As a homeowner, you will be paying a monthly loan payment, along with the cost of insurance, property taxes, utilities, and maintenance. A lender looks for a solid history of income, employment, and credit. The lender also will review your expenses, including automobile payments, credit-card debt, education loans, child support, alimony, etc. If you are borrowing money for your down payment, the lender will treat the interest payments on that loan as expenses.
