Answers

Frequently asked.

How fast can I get pre-approved for a mortgage?

+

A rate estimate is immediate and needs only a soft credit check. A pre-qualification from one of our brokers typically comes back within 24 hours. A full underwritten approval typically takes 24–48 hours once income and asset documents are uploaded, and does involve a credit check.

Does 8Twelve handle both home purchase and refinance loans?

+

Yes. We offer purchase mortgages (FHA, VA, Conventional, Jumbo, DSCR) and refinance options including rate-and-term, cash-out, and streamline refinances in the states where we are licensed - see our Licensing & Disclosures page at /licensing for the current list.

How much can I borrow on a refinance?

+

These are program maximums for qualified borrowers, not terms available to everyone: conventional rate-and-term refinances allow up to 97% LTV, FHA up to 97.75%, VA up to 100%, and cash-out refinances up to 80% LTV. Your eligibility depends on the loan program, the property, and your credit profile.

Are there any fees to apply or get a rate quote?

+

No. A rate quote is free and uses only a soft credit check. A full application does include a credit check, which we run only with your permission. You only pay standard closing costs if you choose to move forward and close your loan.
