Define your comfortable range
A maximum loan amount is not the same as a comfortable household budget. Consider other goals, maintenance and the flexibility you want after moving. Use the calculator as a learning tool, not an approval.
The Legends Mortgage Team
Your first home. A thoughtful first step.
You do not need to know everything before asking your first question. Begin with the monthly picture, the cash needed to close and a realistic process.
Compare the complete cost
Down payment and closing costs are different. Ask how taxes, insurance, association dues and mortgage insurance affect the monthly picture, and which costs could change.
Keep the process steady
Discuss documentation and timing with your loan officer. Use the secure application for financial information and avoid making major financial changes without first asking how they affect the review.
