Common Questions About Buying Your First Home.
How much of a down payment will I need as a first-time homebuyer?
Down payment requirements may vary by loan type. Wings offers more flexible options for first-time homebuyers. Learn more about programs for first-time homebuyers here.
What is escrow?
An escrow account is a common feature of a mortgage loan. An escrow account makes it easier to pay necessary expenses on your property – like taxes and insurance – by incorporating them into your monthly mortgage payment, rather than paying them in lump sums.
What is Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)?
PMI is typically required if your down payment is less than 20% of the home's value. It is designed to protect the lender in case you stop making payments on your loan.
