Common questions

How fast can I get pre-approved?
Often within a business day once we have your basic details. A verified pre-approval makes your offer stronger and helps you shop in your real price range.
Does checking my rate hurt my credit?
Getting an initial rate estimate uses a soft inquiry that doesn’t affect your score. A full application later involves a hard credit pull, which your officer will explain first.
How much do I really need for a down payment?
Many qualified buyers put down as little as 3%. More down can lower your payment and may remove mortgage insurance — your officer will show you the trade-offs.
Which states does Loanatik lend in?
Loanatik is licensed in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Nebraska.
