Cedar Rapids mortgage questions.
Does flood history affect financing in Cedar Rapids?
It can. Properties in a designated flood zone require flood insurance, which factors into your payment and your qualifying ratios. We check the flood determination early rather than late.
What credit score do I need?
It depends on the program — FHA is more forgiving than conventional, and we have options for a range of credit profiles. We'll look at your actual file and tell you honestly where you stand before you apply.
