Issaquah mortgage questions
- Do special assessments affect my loan?
- They can. A pending assessment shows up in HOA documents and may affect both qualifying and project eligibility.

- Conventional financing starts in the low 600s and FHA lower still, but pricing improves as scores rise, so we look at quick-win credit moves first.
