  More transparency and control over how we share your data with business partners; and
  More clarity about how we share your data to prevent harm, comply with law, serve the public interest, and keep Twitter safe and welcoming for everyone.
 
We've also updated our Terms of Service so that we have one set of terms for both Twitter and Periscope, and to clarify that you must have rights to the content you share on our services.

Better Mortgage takes the headache out of knowing how much home you can actually afford.

 
 
 
Get Pre-Approved

Buying a home may seem about as feasible as Tiger winning another PGA tour. But what if that wasn't the case? Maybe you have student loans. Maybe you don't have a 20% down payment ready to go. Maybe none of that actually matters.

Better Mortgage wants to demystify the home-buying process and improve access to home finance for a new generation of Americans. That's right millennials, they're talking about you.

Their online application and automated processing shrinks the mortgage pre-approval time to 3 minutes and saves borrowers an average of $3,500 on transaction costs alone.

If you're thinking about buying a home and want a real answer to how much house can I afford?, Better Mortgage just may be your best bet. Take 3 minutes to get pre-approved — you'll see how much you can afford and get an estimate of your monthly mortgage payments.

 
See What You Can Afford
 

Take 3 minutes and see how much house you can actually afford.
