Our take: Pros & Cons
What we like
- Better publishes conventional fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, jumbo, FHA purchase and VA options.
- The mortgage process is online, with account access to track progress and lock a rate.
- Published One Day Mortgage promotion terms include permanent residents and certain non-permanent residents, subject to the offer’s visa, documentation and underwriting conditions.
What to consider
- Minimum scores and down payments vary by program. The rate page’s 760 score, 20% down payment and DTI below 35% are pricing assumptions, not universal eligibility requirements.
- General mortgage-specific ITIN, foreign-credit, no-credit-history and foreign-income acceptance are unconfirmed. Limited residency terms from promotions do not apply to every program.
- The FHA eligibility FAQ limits loans to 30-year purchases of primary residences, while the refinance page displays an FHA example; confirm current availability before relying on FHA refinance pricing.
AI-generated lender-level assessment based on published information. Not a verified assessment of conforming loans — Investment property; confirm program-specific conditions below.
Additional lender considerations
- Qualified VA borrowers may obtain no-down-payment financing without private mortgage insurance.
- Adjustable-rate interest rates and payments may change after the initial fixed period.
- The token-backed program involves a separate down-payment loan, a second property lien and restricted custody of pledged assets. Default can lead to liquidation and loss of pledged assets.
- Advertised rates and costs are conditional, may change, and do not guarantee approval. Request a written Loan Estimate.
