Purchase

Buy or Move Up

Upsizing, downsizing, or changing cities is a timeline problem as much as a loan problem. The program should follow the move you are actually making.

The next house

The program follows the move

Conventional, VA, and USDA loans solve different purchase problems. This page does not say which one you qualify for.

If you already have an agent, the loan timeline should follow the dates in the contract. If you do not, you can still ask what a pre-approval requires and what to line up first.

The Tokar Team can take the application. Danny is Producing Branch Manager and Ari is Branch Operations Manager with Gold Star Mortgage.

Start With the Move, Then the Program

Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, and jumbo loans are different tools for a primary home, and some of them also cover a second home. Self-employed income and other non-traditional earnings can be documented, but the method depends on the program. The Tokar Team will name which path matches the house, the occupancy, and the contract dates before a product is chosen.

If Another House Has to Sell

Say at the outset whether you need to sell a current home before the next one can close. The order of those two transactions changes what the file can support. It is much harder to repair that sequence after an offer is written.

Before You Tour

A pre-approval gives you a working budget and gives a seller something concrete. Build the monthly figure with taxes, insurance, and any association dues, not principal and interest alone. Set aside cash for the down payment and closing costs the program requires, and loop in the agent who will write the contract so the dates match what the loan needs.

After You Are Under Contract

The Tokar Team can carry the file through underwriting. You should see figures before you sign. A page on this website is not a commitment to lend, and a fast pre-approval still depends on the documents and the property.
