Common mortgage questions

Many people start by determining what they can afford as a monthly payment. A common starting point is to calculate 25% of your gross monthly income to help determine a manageable monthly mortgage payment.

A lender will check your credit score and history, your debt-to-income ratio, which is a measurement of the amount of debt you have compared to your income, and take a general look at how much money you have in checking and savings accounts in order to be confident you’ll be able to pay for your mortgage, taxes, and other costs associated with buying a home.

Wells Fargo offers several low down payment options, including conventional loans (those not backed by a government agency).

Conventional fixed-rate loans are available with a down payment as low as 3%.

  • Keep in mind that with a low down payment mortgage insurance will be required, which increases the cost of the loan and will increase your monthly payment. We'll explain the options available, so you can choose what works for you.
  • Talk with a home mortgage consultant about loan amount, loan type, property type, income, first-time homebuyer, and homebuyer education requirements to ensure eligibility.

FHA loans are available with as little as 3.5% down.

  • FHA loans have the benefit of a low down payment, but you'll want to consider all costs involved, including up-front and long-term mortgage insurance and all fees.
  • Be certain to ask your home mortgage consultant to help you compare the overall costs of all your home financing options.

VA loans offer low- and no-down-payment options for eligible veterans and other eligible borrowers.

Your monthly mortgage payment typically will include principal and interest on the mortgage, as well as homeowners insurance and property taxes if your mortgage payment includes escrow. Depending on your down payment and loan type, you may also have to pay private mortgage insurance as part of your monthly mortgage payment.
