Frequently Asked Questions About Mortgages

How much can I borrow to buy a house in El Salvador?

The amount depends on your income, your current debts, and the loan term. As a general guideline, your monthly payment should not exceed 30–40% of your net income. Use the calculator to estimate your monthly payment and determine the amount you could borrow.

What is the down payment on a mortgage?

The down payment is the percentage of the property's value that you pay out of pocket at the beginning; the bank finances the rest. It typically ranges from 10% to 30%, depending on the bank and the type of property. The higher the down payment, the lower your monthly payment and total interest will be.

What are the requirements for a mortgage loan?

Generally, verifiable income, job stability, a good credit history, and the down payment. Before formally applying, you can pre-qualify online to see if you meet the requirements.

How is the monthly mortgage payment calculated?

The monthly payment depends on the loan amount, the interest rate, and the term in years. The longer the term, the lower the monthly payment, but you’ll pay more interest overall. The calculator shows you the estimated monthly payment as you adjust each variable.

Is a shorter or longer term better?

A shorter term means higher monthly payments but less total interest, and you’ll finish paying off the loan sooner. A longer term lowers your monthly payment but makes the loan more expensive due to accumulated interest. Choose based on your ability to pay; a consultation with Propi is free and can help you decide.
