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 Property types we finance; 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.
