Mortgage Tips

Credit score matters. Get a free copy of your credit report to make sure there are no errors which might negatively affect your credit score.
Shop around. Make sure to get multiple mortgage quotes. Over 30 years, a difference of 0.25% in APR might end up being over $10,000 in extra payments!
Bigger down payments are better. You can often qualify for a mortgage with as little as 3.5% down. But, unless your down payment is at least 20%, you will likely have to pay Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). This can add significant cost to the price of the mortgage.
