A mortgage is a loan from a financial institution, at a specific interest rate over a specific period of time, to help finance the purchase of a home. The home you purchase is used as collateral until the mortgage is paid off.
Each month, you pay a portion of the principal (amount of money borrowed), interest, property tax, hazard or homeowners insurance, and in some cases mortgage insurance.

Before you start looking for your new home, it’s important to get a strong sense of your budget. Pre-qualification is a simple, no-obligation step to help you determine how much you can afford, how much you’ll need for a down payment, and how much you’re likely to pay every month after closing.
Once you're pre-qualified, you'll receive a premier buyer letter to give to your real estate agent to show you're a serious potential homebuyer.
