How to qualify for a mortgage in Ouray
Qualifying for a mortgage in Ouray follows the same core process as anywhere in Colorado: lenders review your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, down payment, and income documentation. The right loan program depends on the property type, your goals, and how the home will be used.
- Primary residences: conventional, FHA, VA, or USDA depending on credit and down payment.
- Second homes: typically conventional or jumbo with 10–20% down.
- Investment properties: conventional investor loans (20–25% down) or DSCR loans based on rental income.
