Confused about credit scores, down payments, or closing costs? You’re not alone. In this episode of Real Talk with Andres & Heather, we’re joined by bilingual loan officer Myriam Rosas to debunk the biggest mortgage myths and help you buy smarter in 2025.
✅ Top 4 misconceptions we tackle:
-
You need perfect credit to qualify
-
You must have 20% down
-
Car loans will disqualify you
-
You only need the down payment upfront
Plus, we break down the 5 biggest mistakes that can derail your loan approval...like quitting your job, opening credit lines, or co-signing for someone else.
Whether you’re buying this year or planning ahead, Myriam shares actionable tips on budgeting, soft credit pulls, and working with a lender early to save time and money.
Perfect for: First-time buyers, renters considering ownership, and real estate agents guiding clients through the lending process.
