Frequently Asked, Frequently Answered

Starting with clear, direct answers to the questions that matter most to your future.

An FHA loan allows you to purchase a home with a lower down payment while also offering more flexible credit requirements. This makes it a popular option for first-time buyers or anyone looking to get into a home sooner without needing a large upfront investment.

We offer a comprehensive suite of home loan products, including conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, jumbo, and reverse mortgages, for both purchases and refinances. We specialize in unique financing options like renovation loans, new construction loans, and specialized programs such as HomeNow™ down payment assistance.

With Ruoff Mortgage, the average time from application to clear to close is just 15 days.* That means from the moment you apply to the moment you're ready to close, the process can move quickly and efficiently. 

To determine how much mortgage you can afford, use the Ruoff Mortgage Affordability Calculator, which estimates your maximum home price based on income, debt, and down payment. Generally, lenders recommend keeping your total monthly housing payment (principal, interest, taxes, insurance) between 25% and 36% of your income.

As first time home buyers, we were nervous going into the loan application process. But Brittany and Cori were amazing to work with, were super patient in answering all of our questions, and acted fast when we decided to make an offer on our house. Thanks so much for all the help!

Working with Cori Drudge and his team at Ruoff Mortgage was an outstanding experience from start to finish. They made what can often be a stressful and complicated process feel smooth, organized, and completely manageable. Cori and his team were incredibly responsive and communicative every step of the way. They took the time to clearly explain all of our options, answered every question we had, and made sure we felt confident in every decision. Their attention to detail and proactive approach kept everything on track and eliminated a lot of the typical headaches that come with securing a mortgage. What really stood out was their professionalism combined with a genuine commitment to customer service. You can tell they truly care about their clients and go the extra mile to ensure a positive experience. By the end of the process, the team felt like friends. I would highly recommend Cori Drudge and the Ruoff Mortgage team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and easy-to-work-with lending partner. As a person who has made the mistake of working with other lenders, I highly recommend that you do yourself a favor and give Cori and his team a call.
