    Choosing a Loan

    Loan Selection Questions, Answered

    How borrowers narrow 50+ programs down to the right one.

    How do I know which mortgage loan is right for me?

    Start with your situation, not the product. Your down payment savings, credit profile, how you document income, and the property type narrow 50+ programs down to a shortlist fast. Our 60-second Loan Finder Quiz does that matching for you, or you can compare programs side-by-side — and a CMS loan expert confirms the best fit before you commit to anything.

    What's the difference between conventional and government-backed loans?

    Conventional loans are backed by private lenders and generally fit borrowers with credit scores of 620+ and at least 3% down — PMI can be removed once you reach 20% equity. Government-backed loans (FHA, VA, USDA) are insured by federal agencies, which allows lower credit scores (as low as 580 with FHA) and 0% down for eligible VA and USDA borrowers.

    Can I get a mortgage without tax returns?

    Yes. Non-QM programs qualify you with alternative documentation: bank statement loans use 12-24 months of deposits instead of tax returns, P&L loans use a CPA-prepared statement, and DSCR loans for investors qualify on the property's rental income — no personal income documents at all.

    How much down payment do I need to buy a home?

    Less than you think. VA and USDA loans offer 0% down for eligible borrowers, conventional loans start at 3% down, and FHA at 3.5%. The right number depends on your goals — more down lowers your monthly payment, but keeping cash in reserve can matter more. We'll walk you through every option.
