Frequently Asked Questions

When purchasing a home, it's one of the biggest life decisions you'll make. Read our complete closing costs guide and check how much home you can afford before you start.


Ask a Specific Question
Normally 20% down is the traditional standard (to avoid PMI) but it is definitely not required for all loans. South Texas Lending offers conventional programs starting with 3% down for first-time home buyers and 3.5% down for FHA. VA loans require zero percent down and coupled with down payment assistance, most Texas home buyers can often buy a home with very little investment out of pocket.
Normally you want to have at least a 580 to qualify for an FHA loan or at least a 620 for conventional (however the best rates start at 700+ FICO for conventional). Now in many cases if your score is lower, a South Texas home loan advisor can give you a clear roadmap on how to get your score better and mortgage-ready.
With STX lending, our dedicated processors and Texas underwriters allow us to move significantly faster than everyone else. Most of the time our loans are clear to close in or around 21 days, which ensures you can compete with the most aggressive offers in a fast-paced Texas market.
Timing the market is never a good idea. When rates drop, buyers will continue to come back into the market making it harder to buy a home. And it often drives home prices up. We normally recommend you buy whenever you are financially ready and not try to time the market, this has to depend on your specific scenario and situation when you are ready to buy.
