At Mission Fed, our goal is to get you into the home of your dreams by helping you find the right mortgage for your needs with mortgage payments you can afford.

If you are a first-time homebuyer, we can provide helpful information, including programs that you can benefit from, mistakes to avoid, and items to consider when you begin your home buying journey.

A big part of the home buying process is determining how much you can afford. This may seem intimidating, but don’t worry — our home loan specialists are here to help. Your monthly expenses, down payment amount, and interest rate will all play a large part in figuring out how much you can comfortably spend each month on your mortgage with today’s mortgage rates. We will also provide a list of calculator resources in this guide that you can use to help determine your home buying power.

It’s a good idea to get preapproved and get a fully-underwritten approval before you start looking at homes. Many real estate agents require you to get preapproved before they’ll start showing you homes. Getting pre-approved will also give you a good idea of how much home you can afford. You can start the preapproval process as early as you want, but plan accordingly as the preapproval letter has an expiration date. Once you’ve selected a home you love, it’s time to begin the actual loan approval process — also called underwriting.

Gathering important documents before you apply for your Home Loan will help make the process quick and easy.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Paycheck stubs for at least the last 30 days
  • W2s for the last two years
  • Tax returns for the past two years for self-employed borrowers
  • Bank statements for the last two months
  • Retirement or dividend earnings statements
  • Information about stocks or bonds
  • Proof of 12 months on-time rent payments for renters
  • Employment history for the last two years
  • Photo ID
