How it works
Lenders typically evaluate your application based on established Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratios. This ensures that your total monthly housing costs and other debt obligations are sustainable relative to your income.
- Loan-to-Value (LTV): Most financial institutions require a 10% to 20% down payment to secure the best possible interest rates.
- Taxes & Fees: Closing costs, registration duties, and notary fees vary by region but are a critical part of your upfront cash requirement.
- Insurance: Property insurance and, in many cases, mortgage insurance (PMI) are standard requirements for loans with lower down payments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I save for a down payment?
While 20% is the gold standard to avoid mortgage insurance, many programs allow as little as 3-10%. However, a larger contribution always lowers your monthly obligation.
What is an 'Agreement in Principle'?
It is an initial assessment from a lender indicating how much they might be willing to lend you. It strengthens your position when making an offer to sellers.
Can I pay off my mortgage early?
Most modern mortgages allow for extra payments or early payoff, but some may have prepayment penalties. Check your agreement for specifics on 'overpayments'.
