Frequently asked questions

How long does mortgage pre-approval take?

The timing depends on how quickly you send your income, asset and credit documents. After you apply, federal rules require your lender to give you a Loan Estimate within three business days of receiving your application. Apply at https://www.winslowloan.com, and Ryan and Megan review each file personally.

What documents do I need to apply for a mortgage?

Gather two years of income documents such as W-2s or tax returns, recent pay stubs, two months of bank statements, a photo ID and a list of your debts. Self-employed borrowers and investors need additional documents. Ryan and Megan tell you exactly what your file needs when you apply.

What credit score do I need to buy a house?

Each loan type sets its own standard, and lenders add their own rules. FHA allows 3.5% down with a 580 score or higher and 10% down with a 500 to 579 score. Florida Housing first-time buyer programs require a 640 score, and the VA sets no minimum score. Ryan and Megan review your credit and options and do not promise approval before they see your full file.

What is the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?

Pre-qualification is a quick estimate based on information you report. Pre-approval means a lender reviews your documents and credit, so sellers take your offer more seriously. Neither one guarantees a final loan approval, which still depends on the appraisal, underwriting and your finances at closing.

What are the FHA loan requirements in Florida?

FHA requires 3.5% down with a credit score of 580 or higher, or 10% down with a score of 500 to 579. You pay an upfront mortgage insurance premium of 1.75% of the base loan plus an annual premium. The 2026 FHA one unit loan limit in Volusia County is $541,287, and the home must meet FHA appraisal standards.

How much does a VA loan cost?

A VA loan needs no down payment with full entitlement and carries no monthly mortgage insurance. For a first-use purchase, the VA funding fee is 2.15% with less than 5% down, 1.5% with 5% or more down and 1.25% with 10% or more down. You owe no funding fee if you receive VA disability compensation, and Ryan and Megan help you request your Certificate of Eligibility.

What is the Florida Hometown Heroes program?

Hometown Heroes gives eligible buyers up to 5% of the first mortgage, with a $10,000 minimum and a $35,000 maximum, as a 0% deferred second mortgage. It serves full-time employees of Florida based employers in eligible fields, plus active military and veterans. Funding opens in rounds and has run out quickly before, so get pre-approved before the next round.
