...but your best step is to call a metro Denver mortgage lender to find out how much you can actually afford based on your credit, your income, and their rates.
It is highly recommended that home buyers use a local metro Denver mortgage lender. Large companies such as Wells Fargo & Chase have a bad reputation for representing buyers are qualified for a home loan, only to find out after an offer was accepted, a lot of time was lost to the seller, and the buyer spent money on inspections, that the buyer was not qualified for a home loan. In addition to bad approvals, banks have a bad reputation for being unresponsive and missing critical deadlines, causing delays to closing, resulting in lots of stress to all parties and consequently risking the earnest money of the buyer. Frequently representatives at large banks do not provide a cell phone number, and they are unavailable after business hours. Below you will find a number of mortgage lenders that I have completed transactions with, that I can vouch for. They are available at all times, like me, meet deadlines, give out good approvals, and will give you the best chance at winning the house.
