How Do I Qualify?

How do I qualify?

To qualify for a mortgage with FSB, you will need to provide the following documents:

  • Bank statements for the past two months (checking, savings, investments, 401(k), etc.)
  • Proof of income (most recent pay stub covering a minimum of 30 days, retirement statements or award letters, contract for employment, etc.)
  • W2 or 1099 and complete signed tax returns for previous two years (personal and business).

FSB's experienced mortgage lenders will use this information to get you the best loan possible.

How Much Can I Afford?

To calculate how much you can afford, we take into account a few primary items, such as your household income and regular monthly debts (e.g. car and student loans).

As a homebuyer, you'll want to have a certain level of comfort in understanding that unexpected expenses and unplanned spending happens, which can impact your savings. A good guideline is to keep three months of payments saved in an emergency fund.

Plus, FSB offers no money down loans and grants up to $5,000 (Speak to an FSB Mortgage Lender to explore your eligibility).
