★★★★★ ★★★★★ First-Time Buyer
As first-time buyers, we had a hundred questions and zero clue where to start. Our loan officer answered every single one without making us feel dumb. We closed two days early and still can’t believe this house is ours.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ Refinance
I refinanced and dropped my rate enough to knock real money off my monthly payment. The whole thing was handled online in a couple of weeks. Wish I’d called them sooner.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ Self-Employed
Being self-employed, I’d been turned down before because my income looked complicated on paper. Equity Lending Group took the time to understand my business and found a program that worked. Total game changer.

Answers

Common questions, answered honestly

Still wondering about something? We're happy to talk it through — no pressure, no obligation.

What's the difference between a mortgage broker and a bank?

A bank can only offer you its own loan products. As an independent mortgage broker, we compare offers from many different lenders to find the rate and program that best fit your situation. That competition often means more options and better pricing for you.

How much do I need for a down payment?

It depends on the loan. Conventional loans can go as low as 3% down, FHA loans as low as 3.5%, and VA and USDA loans may allow 0% down for eligible buyers. We’ll help you weigh down payment size against your monthly payment and any mortgage insurance.

What credit score do I need to qualify?

Many programs accept scores in the low 600s, and some government-backed loans go lower. A higher score generally earns you a better rate. If your score needs work, we can outline a few practical steps to strengthen it before you apply.

What is the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?

Pre-qualification is a quick estimate based on information you share. Pre-approval is stronger: we verify your income, assets, and credit so you get a documented letter sellers take seriously. In a competitive market, a solid pre-approval can make your offer stand out.

How long does it take to close on a mortgage?

Most purchase loans close in about three to four weeks once you’re under contract, though it varies with the loan type and how quickly documents come together. We work to keep your file moving and flag anything that could cause delays early.

What are closing costs and how much should I expect?

Closing costs cover things like lender fees, title insurance, appraisal, and prepaid taxes and insurance. They typically run about 2% to 5% of the loan amount. We provide a clear estimate up front and look for ways to reduce them, including possible seller or lender credits.

Should I choose a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage?

A fixed-rate loan keeps the same interest rate for the life of the loan, giving you predictable payments. An adjustable-rate mortgage starts lower but can change after an initial period. The right choice depends on how long you plan to stay in the home and your comfort with future rate changes.

Get a fast, no-obligation pre-approval and see what you qualify for. It only takes a couple of minutes — and there’s zero impact to your credit score.
