My husband and I were extremely happy working with Patrick Martin and thanks to Lending Tree we were connected to Patrick. He made everything easy. He's highly knowledgeable and obviously cares about his customers. We highly recommend Lending Tree and Lower.com Because of them we are finally debt free!!

What really made me decide to give my business to Lower.com was the amazing job Andi did while working with me from the first call up until closing day.

My score wasn't the best but Adam was pretty confident he could work something out and this was after being told no by other lenders. I didn't get my hopes up but to my surprise I was approved!

The process was so easy. It was also easy to upload all the required documents to the portal. Jake was available and answered all my questions promptly. I was approved in just a few days.

This was our 8th mortgage closing and it was by far the easiest!! We had never done a virtual closing and it was smooth as silk from the comfort of our couch at the time of our choosing! The whole process was very easy to follow and understand.

Do I need to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI) on a conventional loan?

If you make a down payment of less than 20%, PMI is typically required. However, once you reach 20% equity, you can request to have PMI removed, which lowers your monthly payments.
