So you are ready for that next big step of purchasing your first house. Well, if it is your first home or fifth home financing has evolved into a trying process. Hopefully by reading this blog, you will be headed in the right direction to find the loan that fits your financial situation. Remember this might be the biggest purchase of your life so do it right. Don’t be afraid to ask questions to get the information you are looking for.
Before you begin your house hunt start by going to a reputable bank or mortgage lender to search for the perfect loan that fits your budget. If you have the time and energy I would suggest shopping around for different lenders to see who is willing to work for you and who best suits your needs. Lenders need your business, so let them work for it. The first question they should ask you is what is your credit score? Buyers are finding it near impossible to get a loan with out having an excellent credit rating. That in mind the next question they should ask is how much money do you have for a down payment? These questions might not be the first two lenders will ask but these questions will steer you clear from negative results if this information is not known from the get go.
The next conversation you might have is what type of loan are you interested in? Ask your lender about the different types of loans and which options will best suit your needs. Lenders are now required to provide you with documentation on the negative aspects of every loan in an easy-to-read format. I would suggest you do some research on line about the many different and creative ways to pay off your home and come with questions for your lender about how to manage your financials now and in the future.
Be smart and proactive about getting your financial questions cleared up BEFORE you begin the exciting process of looking and purchasing your home.
