The Right Knowledge Can Save You Thousands

A well-informed decision can reshape your entire homeownership journey. The difference between two loan offers may look small on paper, but over 30 years it can add up to $20,000, $40,000, or even $60,000 in savings. Many first-time buyers don’t realize that lenders can offer drastically different terms based on timing, preparation, and credit-safe pre-qualification. Learning what affects your rate puts you in the strongest position from day one.

Two Paths, One Goal: Better Choices

For First-Time Buyers
  • Understand the process Buying your first home comes with a learning curve, but knowing the basics makes it far more manageable.
  • Know what affects your rate Credit, income, and loan type directly influence approval, pricing, and monthly payments.
  • Prepare strategically Small steps taken early can improve loan terms and increase your buying power.
  • Gain confidence early Clarity upfront leads to a smoother, more confident first home purchase.
For Repeat Buyers
  • Markets change over time The lending landscape today differs from what you experienced before, with new rates, programs, and guidelines.
  • Compare today’s options Reviewing current loan choices can uncover opportunities that were not available during your first purchase.
  • Reassess your financial profile Changes in income, assets, and credit can open the door to better pricing and terms.
  • Plan for long-term value Whether upsizing, downsizing, or refinancing, the right structure can create meaningful savings over time.

Pick the Loan That Works for You

Every buyer’s situation is different, which is why the right loan is the one that fits your goals, income, and plans for the future.
We walk you through each option and help you choose a structure that supports you now and over time.

Conventional

Conventional loans are the most common choice for buyers with strong credit and steady income. They offer flexible terms, competitive rates, and down payments starting around 5%. This category includes both standard and jumbo loans, giving buyers access to a wide range of home prices without government program fees.

FHA Loans

FHA loans help buyers with limited savings or lighter credit histories qualify more easily. With low down payment options and flexible credit requirements, they make homeownership more accessible. Because they’re backed by the Federal Housing Administration, lenders can approve buyers who may not meet conventional guidelines.

Investor

Investor loans are designed for buying rental properties, fix-and-flips, or second homes. Approval focuses heavily on financial stability, property value, and potential rental income. These loans give investors flexibility to expand portfolios without the restrictions of owner-occupied programs.

Bank statement loans

Bank statement loans use 12–24 months of business or personal bank deposits to qualify instead of W-2s. This is a strong option for buyers whose tax write-offs reduce their reported income. It offers flexibility and simplifies income verification for entrepreneurs and independent workers.

Real Experiences from Real Borrowers

Every team member we interacted with at Lendevity was consistent in their willingness to help and explain each step of the process. The web portal was efficient and easy to follow and the employees had a great balance of efficiency and personal support. I would definitely recommend Lendivity to our friends and appreciate their help in navigating the loan process. We’ve purchased several homes and gone through refinancing in the past and this experience was really exceptional. Thanks to everyone involved. Jerry, Kailey, Cindy, Angela, and anyone else I forgot who worked behind the scenes.

Ryan Dougherty

I had a really great experience working with the Lendevity team for my very first mortgage. Sean, Cindy and Darlene were all very responsive. I had a lot of questions and they were very patient with me. Once we found our home they moved quickly and the process was very easy to go through. My seller picked their own escrow team, and Lendevity had no issues making quick work of the loan process and getting Escrow everything they needed. I cant say enough nice things about my experience with them. I highly recommend Lendevity!
