What happens if you lose your job or your credit score changes before closing? đź‘€

It can affect your mortgage approval, even if you were already preapproved.

That’s why it’s important to avoid major financial changes before closing and keep your lender updated if anything changes.

Buying a home? Don’t leave room for surprises. Let’s get you to the closing table prepared.

Not every home buyer needs the same type of financing.

From conventional and FHA to VA and other loan options, the right financing can depend on your credit, income, down payment, and goals.

Before you assume you need 20% down, let’s talk about your options.

The Bowen Group can help you understand the financing path that makes sense for you.

08/25/2026

Dear first-time home buyer, the interest rate isn’t the whole story. Your Loan Estimate is. 👀

A lower rate can still come with higher lender fees, discount points, or closing costs that make the loan more expensive upfront.

Before you choose a lender, look beyond the monthly payment.

Check the interest rate.
Check the lender charges.
Check the points.
Check your closing costs.
Check how much cash you’ll need at closing.

And if something doesn’t make sense, ask questions. A few numbers that look small on paper can add up to thousands of dollars.

Not sure how to read your Loan Estimate? That’s what The Bowen Group is here for. Send us a message. We’ll help you understand what you’re actually paying for.

You do NOT need an 800 credit score to buy a house in Hampton Roads.

That number gets thrown around so much that you might think homeownership is reserved for people with perfect credit.

It isn’t.

Depending on your loan program and lender, you may have options with a credit score well below 800.

For example, Virginia Housing offers certain home loan options with credit scores as low as 620. FHA loans can allow scores of 580 or higher for maximum financing, while VA loans have no minimum credit score requirement set by the VA itself. Individual lenders can still set their own requirements.

And your credit score is only one piece of the puzzle.

Lenders also look at things like your income, debts, credit history, assets and ability to afford the monthly payment.

So if you’re sitting on a 620, 650, 680 or 700 thinking, “I guess I need to wait until my score hits 800,” you may be waiting unnecessarily.

The better question is:

“What loan options could I qualify for with the credit profile I have today?”

If you’re thinking about buying in Hampton Roads, let’s look at your options before you count yourself out.

Your credit score might not be the reason you can’t buy.

You might simply need to know which door to knock on.

If you’re in the military, PCS orders can make buying a home feel risky.

“What if I buy and get orders to move again before I even unpack?”

If you know you’ll only be in Hampton Roads for 3 years or less, renting may make more sense. But buying can still be worth considering if you’re thinking beyond your current duty station and building a real estate portfolio.

With a VA loan, you may be able to buy with no down payment and no PMI. Depending on the deal, you may also be able to negotiate for the seller to help with some closing costs.

And if those orders come sooner than expected, selling isn’t your only option. You could rent the home to another military family and keep building your investment portfolio.

The Bowen Group also handles property management for out-of-state investors, so you don’t have to manage everything from your new duty station.

Whether you’re PCS’ing into Hampton Roads, PCS’ing out, or trying to figure out what to do with the home you already own, we’re here to help.

Call 1.800.906.0464 to talk through your options.
