Are you going to finance your home?
When buying a home, applying for the loan is demanding for a lot of people, but it doesn't have to be.
I have excellent relationships with a lot of mortgage lenders in the Berwyn area, and they've helped me learn a few things that make the loan application process very easy.
1 – Put together a list of questions regarding your loan program
Be sure you have a list of questions with you if you do not thoroughly grasp the pros and cons of the different loan programs.
At times, it can be a challenge to understand the differences between both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages. I or one of my trusted lenders will assist you in understanding the advantages and disadvantages of both programs.
2 – Determine when you want to lock
When you lock in a rate, a lender is guaranteed to keep to the interest rates for the loan – normally at the time the loan application is submitted.
By floating the rate, you can lock the rate anytime between the day you apply for the loan and issuance of closing documents. Buyers who elect to float conclude that the interest rates will plunge in the near future. Click here to see the outlook for the next 90 days of interest rates.
3 – Determine if you want to pay additional points to reduce your rate
If you opt to pay additional points to lower the rate of your mortgage loan, you'll pay for them in cash at closing. Each point is 1 percent of the loan.
