How much does it cost to buy a house?
You should have around $2,000 to $5000 to pay for the closing cost. On top of that, you'll need at least 10% down payment. The more down payment you have, the better loan program and lower interest rate you will most likely find. Higher down payment = lower risk for the bank to loan you money.

What are the important criteria used to qualify for loan?  
Your credit and amount of down payment . Your credit score need to be 680+ and you need at least 10% down payment for most buyers.
