Are You Ready to Buy a Home?
Purchasing a first home is a major milestone in life — but the process of obtaining a mortgage can feel a little bit overwhelming. The various paperwork, requirements, and fees alone can be complex and confusing, particularly the first time you deal with them.
The first step is to determine you are ready, both financially and mentally, to take on the responsibility of homeownership. Once you’re confident in that regard, the next steps are to examine and evaluate each of the loan options available so you’re sure to get the best rates and terms possible.
How Large of a Mortgage Can I Afford?
Your total loan amount is largely dependent on your current financial status, including your gross income, existing debt, and the type of loan program you select. As a general rule, most loan programs require that your total mortgage payment (including your property taxes and insurance, and, if applicable, mortgage insurance and/or monthly association dues) and existing monthly debt obligations comprise no more than 45%-55% of your gross monthly income. A Total Mortgage Lending expert will work closely with you to determine a housing price that you can afford.
Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage
Once you feel secure about your financial and or mental readiness, the next step is to get Pre-Approved with Total Mortgage or Pre-Qualified for a mortgage loan. You can begin the Pre-Approval process online or speak with a loan officer to get a customized quote. This will show you how much you might be able to afford and give you an estimate of your monthly payments.
Getting Pre-Approved is a fairly simple process that requires credit verification and income verification, but does not require a full underwriting process. Once you are Pre-Approved, you will receive a Total Mortgage Pre-Approval letter to present to home sellers as a measure of good faith.
We have bilingual loan originators to assist you with your home lending process.

FAQ
CAN I USE GIFT FUNDS OR DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE?
Yes—many homebuyers can use gift funds, down payment assistance (DPA), or a combination of both, depending on the loan program and your qualifications.
Gift Funds:
Money provided by an eligible family member or approved donor that can often be used toward your down payment, closing costs, or reserves. Documentation is usually required to show the source of funds and transfer.
Down Payment Assistance:
Many city, county, state, and nonprofit programs offer grants, forgivable loans, or deferred-payment second mortgages to help with down payment and closing costs. Eligibility may depend on income, location, first-time buyer status, and property type.
Good News:
We help borrowers explore all available options in Florida and Georgia and structure financing to maximize affordability whenever allowed.
