A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
