To qualify, you typically need a credit score of at least 620, a stable income, and a debt-to-income ratio lower than 43%. Some programs allow lower credit scores or DTIs.
Down payments can range from 0% (VA and USDA loans) to 3.5% (FHA loans) and up to 20% for conventional loans, depending on the loan type and your credit situation.
Fixed-rate mortgages have the same interest rate and monthly payment for the life of the loan. Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) have a rate that may change periodically, affecting your monthly payment.
Benefits include lower down payments and easier credit qualifications. Drawbacks include mandatory mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) and limits on loan amounts.
