What Should I Look for in a Mortgage?

#Mortgage Basics

There are several key elements you should consider when looking for a mortgage: the qualifications for obtaining approval, the interest rate, the size of the down payment, and duration of the mortgage repayment.

In particular, you want to find a mortgage with a lower down payment and lower interest rates. However, the interest rate and down payment available to you will depend on your credit score, income, and other factors.

Tellus TIP:

Buyers often save money by shopping around between different lenders. Don't be afraid to compare offers to find the best deal.
