What is in your monthly payment

Your payment is more than principal and interest.

  • Principal reduces your balance
  • Interest is the cost of borrowing
  • Taxes and insurance can be collected in escrow so they are paid for you

Documents to have ready

Having these ready helps your application move faster.

  • Photo identification for each borrower
  • Recent pay stubs or proof of income
  • Recent statements for accounts holding your down payment
  • The signed purchase contract, when you have one
