What else do I need at closing besides the down payment?
Closing takes more than the down payment: lender fees, a title search and insurance, the attorney's fee South Carolina law requires, prepaid property tax and insurance, and the deed's recording charge shared by the state and the county. These typically add a noticeable amount on top of the down payment itself. Brian Beatty can walk a buyer through an itemized closing cost estimate before they go to contract.
What documents do I need for a mortgage pre-approval?
Documents needed for a mortgage pre-approval typically include recent pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, and proof of identity, along with authorization for the lender to check credit. Self-employed buyers usually need additional documentation covering a longer income history. A Lowcountry lender can give a specific buyer the exact list before they start gathering paperwork.
Does Brian Beatty help with first-time buyer grants on Moncks Corner?
Brian Beatty helps first-time buyers in Moncks Corner identify which state and federal grant or down payment assistance programs they actually qualify for, rather than assuming a single program fits every buyer. Eligibility usually depends on income, credit, and whether the buyer has owned a home before, which a lender verifies directly. Brian coordinates with Lowcountry lenders who process these Moncks Corner applications regularly.
