Getting Started

Most homebuyers choose to start by requesting a mortgage pre-qualification from a lender. The home builder mortgage lender will review basic credit and income information to give you an estimate of the loan amount you will qualify for. Once you choose a home and enter into a purchase contract, you begin the next stage of financing.

Mortgage Options

The home builder mortgage process begins with a full loan application and more detailed credit history. Your mortgage lender will advise you of the specific home builder mortgage rates options available to you so you can decide on the best loan for you.
