Follow the 28/36 rule
Try to keep housing costs under 28% of your gross income and total debt under 36%. It’s not a hard rule, but it’s a solid guide when deciding your price range.
Buying a home should be exciting, and getting preapproved is just about clearly telling your financial story. When your documents are ready upfront, everything moves faster with fewer surprises and stronger offers. Having your income, assets, and credit info organized gives lenders a clear picture and saves you a ton of time and stress. The more prepared you are, the more confident you’ll feel when it’s time to make an offer.
A good credit score typically starts at 620 for conventional loans, while FHA and VA loans may accept scores as low as 500, though higher scores offer better terms. A strong credit score can help you secure lower interest rates, saving you significant money over the life of a home loan.
Real estate investing means buying property to earn income, either from rent, resale, or both.
Long-term rentals
Buy and rent on yearly leases for steady monthly income and long-term value.
Short-term rentals
Vacation rentals like Airbnb that can earn more during busy seasons but fluctuate.
Fix and flip
Buy, renovate, and sell for profit. Faster money, but higher risk and costs.
House hacking
Live in one unit of a multi-family property and rent the others to cover your mortgage.
Conventional loans
Good for long-term rentals with 15–25% down and fixed or adjustable rates.
DSCR loans
Based on how much rent the property makes, not your income.
Fix-and-flip loans
Short-term loans for buying and renovating properties quickly.
Bridge loans
