Jane,
You could definitely be qualified for the scenerio seen here. I don't know where anyone got a 41500. payment. I would guess you would be in the $1000. range depending on taxes and insurance. With no other debt as you stated, it would be approxamately one third of your income whisch is within most Lenders guidelines.
If you need more assistance, feel free to contact me.
The very best of luck to you!

Hello, Jane,

When you do a pre-approval with a lender they take all of your information and then put it through an "automated Underwriting" system. Typically, when people are putting down a very large downpayment, the underwriting system is more generous in the approval and they will allow the person to have a higher debt service.

The more important question here is will you be comfortable with the monthly payment. Please remember, you will have a mortgage payment in excess of $600 plus your condo fees, taxes and some insurance. Your payment may exceed $1000 with the condo fee. Will that be comfortable for you?'

Take a moment and see how you will feel making that payment. If you need a referral to a good direct lender, I will be glad to provide it to you upon request.

Daniel is wrong, apply for a loan and see what happens. I ran some numbers based on your income the property and estimates of other expenses you might qualify. Nobody should give you a rate with what info you have given.

your question is, can I buy a 125,000 house making 35,000 a year

answer is no

With that kind of downpayment, you should not have an issue at all. Expect a rate of 5% or less.

I am a mortgage broker. If I can be of service, please let me know!

Hi Jane! This is simple to do. You can go conventional or FHA. Due to interest rate is low you can have a reasonable monthly payment. You can reach me at tonytmcloans@yahoo.com / Tony / Branch Manager . Here to provide you professional customer service.

As of today your interest rate for that scenerio would be 4.875%. Your principal and interest payment on a 30 year fixed mortgage would be $652+taxes and the condo association fee. On a 15 year fixed your payment would be $964+taxes and association fee with an interest rate of 4.625%. Please call me or send me an email and I would be happy to send you rate/market updates or get you qualified for your home loan. You can apply over the phone even on weekends or you can apply on our website.

Thank You,

Based on the information you've provided, you would qualify for a mortgage payment of approximately $1500 per month... Also need to have an idea of property taxes and condo fees. Rates are dependent on current market, down monies, debt ratio and credit scores/financial profile. If you need to talk to a local lender, I'd be happy to recommend one.

Hi Jane, I am a loan officer and would be happy to prequalify you. What you have written sounds feasible. the loan amount you are talking about does not take a pricing hit. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. It will take about 20 minutes over the phone and we can have you ready to go.
Thank you,
Dale

GREAT FOR YOU savings of over $100K no debt !

Income of $35K even with large downpayment most likely afford you close to $225K condo with 50% down.

Difficult for anyone state unless you work direct with mortgage broker you can review your financial records, credit score, employment history. I dont believe you should have any problems purchasing a home.

Speak with CPA regarding tax benefits and large downpayment. Owning a home you receive annual tax benefits.

Hi Jane Doe

I have a mortgage lender that would help you in this area. It would be best to work with a lender that is a professional.

I have just been quoted rates just over 5% for a client who has a good credit score. I would suggest that you contact a Mortgage Broker to see exactly where you stand financially and what the best options are for you consdering what you would like to do. If you are first time home buyer, there are programs and incentives that are afforded to you. There are tax credits and things that can assist you with your financing. Don't forget to, you can ask the Seller for a Buy Down or an Assist to help pay for closing costs. I can recommend a good Mortgage Company if you are in need. Make sure the agency is reputable and not a fly-by-night. Please feel free to conact me if you need any furter assistance.

I would assume the bank would look favorable on this loan assuming the home appraised for $250's.
6% rate would be a good starting point?
