For some, the mortgage process can be a confusing part of the home buying journey. There are multiple mortgage myths about credit scores, down payments, and debt that buyers will come across when shopping for a mortgage, which makes it harder for home shoppers to tell what is accurate from what is not. According to this Forbes article by Tara Mastroeni, there are 6 common mortgage myths that buyers should ignore.
Getting a mortgage can be a mystifying process, especially if you’ve never done it before. To make matters worse, there’s a lot of incorrect and outdated information out there to contend with. To that end, we’ve decided to set the record straight. Below are six of the most common mortgage myths. We’ve debunked them for you so that you can go into the mortgage process feeling informed.
Though these two terms may sound the same, there is a world of difference between them. You can get pre-qualified in minutes just by answering a few questions about your financial situation. However, the pre-approval process is much more through. In this scenario, your financials are vetted by a lender before a decision is made. If you’re approved, you’re given a maximum loan amount based on how much the bank is willing to loan you.
These days, a pre-qualification isn’t worth much. Sellers, by and large, prefer a pre-approval since that’s a much more accurate representation of your ability to actually buy the home. When getting ready to purchase a home, make sure you get pre-approved and leave the pre-qualification behind.
While it’s true that multiple inquiries on your credit can lower your score, not all inquiries are created equal. FICO allows for rate shopping by counting all similar inquiries made within the same 30-day period as one. This means you can visit as many lenders as you’d like as long as it all happens within 30 calendar days.
And, you should shop around. Getting the best interest rate possible is important when it comes to buying a home. Even a fraction of a percentage point makes a big difference. It could mean thousands of dollars spent or saved over the life of the loan. Conventional wisdom states you should visit at least three lenders before making your final determination.
Your credit may not be spotless, but that doesn’t mean you can’t buy a home. These days, while conventional loans require a score of at least 620, loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) only require a score of 580 for approval. Beyond that, there are options like finding a co-signer or agreeing to make a bigger down payment that can help reassure your lender.
That said, the interest rate that you’ll pay on the loan is also determined by your score. Therefore, you’ll end up saving in the long run if you make sure your credit is in the best possible shape before you buy. You can raise your score by making sure to make your payments on time every month and paying as far above the minimum payment as possible.
Yes, debt will impact your ability to buy a home. However, with the vast majority of people carrying things like student loan debt and car payments, it would be unrealistic to assume that everyone who goes to buy a home will be debt-free. Instead, what matters is how much debt you’re carrying relative to your total income.
When mortgage companies decide whether or not to approve you for a loan, they look at something called your debt-to-income ratio. This is found by taking the sum total of your recurring monthly debts and dividing it by your total monthly income. Ideally, in order to be approved for a loan, your ratio will be less than or equal to 36%.
If your current debt-to-income ratio is too high to be approved at the moment, you have two choices. You can either work to pay down some of your debts or find ways to generate more income. Don’t be afraid to talk to a lender about which solutions will have the biggest impact.
There was a time when putting 20% down was the gold standard when buying a home. However, those days have come and gone. In today’s market, most loans require less than 6% down. In fact, most FHA loans only require as little as 3.5% down and, if you qualify, loan programs through the Veteran’s Administration (VA) often don’t require any money down at all.

Wishing that your last vacation lasted just a few days (or weeks) longer? A never-ending resort vacation, now that’s an idea. But at Lennar, it’s not just an idea: it’s a lifestyle. Imagine living in a community where you could mingle on a rooftop bar, relax on loungers that are in the pool, take invigorating workout classes, and enjoy movies surrounded by nature’s fresh air –– all just steps from your door.
Many of our communities feature stunning amenities, but these Doral communities offer a lifestyle unlike any other: one dripping in luxury. Here are some of Lennar’s most over-the-top amenities that make “staying home for the weekend” sound just as good as a weekend getaway.
1. Swim in Liquid Gold
With a waterfall, stone bridge, and beach entry, the swimming pool at Park Central is striking. Swimmers will revel in the 11,000-square-foot expanse, where they can swim freely from end to end, gliding under the bridge for an exhilarating splash from a serene waterfall. The smooth beach entry transports you to a dreamy resort, where worries are few and ease is abundant. Lounge in the sparkling shallow water comfortably, staying warm, yet refreshed all at once. And luxury isn’t only for adults. Kids will love the exciting Aqua Park, full of colorful slides and teetering hanging water buckets.
2. Work Up an Exquisite Sweat
All Doral communities include fitness centers with state-of-the-art equipment, so you can always get the most out of your workout. Some centers, like the one at Urbana, features a beautiful view of nature, as well as of the swimming pool, for inspiring motivation. At Park Central, take advantage of instructor-led spin classes for a social fitness experience that’s empowering! There’s nothing like coming together with a group of like-minded individuals ready to attack their exercise for the day and sharing the satisfaction of accomplishing it. Some Doral communities also have soccer fields, as well as basketball and tennis courts, where you can enjoy the outdoors and play your favorite sport, while getting fit. Say goodbye to over-packed gyms and hello to exclusive #fitgoals.
3. Delight in Deluxe Entertainment
Lennar’s Doral communities may be located right near some of South Florida’s best entertainment options, but we also made sure to include some right at home. Landmark’s outdoor amphitheater makes for the best movie night your kids have ever seen – bring your favorite snacks (and friends) for an unforgettable time!
At Urbana, plan an at-home happy hour on your 4-story townhome’s rooftop lounge, where you can savor delicious snacks & drinks while admiring the stars that light up the Downtown Doral sky ever so brilliantly. Park Central’s stars, however, lie in its 28,000-square-foot clubhouse, offering a party room, billiard room, internet lounge, social room, and grand ballroom with catering kitchen. The possibilities for celebrations, gatherings, and games are practically endless!
4. Ease into Extravagance at Home
In your new Doral home, discover ultimate decadence. Smart Home Technology with activation and support by Amazon and voice control by Alexa delivers safety and convenience, while Lennar’s Everything’s Included® experience ensures that you don’t have to compromise on luxury features. With our newest homes offering smart home technology with Amazon Alexa, you can adjust lighting, temperature, and window shades, as well as set reminders, timers, and plans. But that’s not even the best part; you can do all this from the cozy comfort of your own bed! And what feels more like a vacation than being able to stay in bed all day? At Urbana, the 4-story townhomes even come with their own personal elevators. Does it get more extravagant than that?
While we know a lot of this sounds too good to be true, you’d better believe it and come see for yourself. You could have this life of luxury! And, with our in-house mortgage company, the financing process is usually a breeze. When you choose a Lennar home, you’re choosing more.
