Financing Guidance

 

Mortgage and Real Estate Glossary

How do I start getting myself ready for financing?

How do i shop for a loan?

Mortgage Calculators

Mortgage Lender Referrals

What kinds of loans are there?

Which loan is best for me?

Loan Pre-Approval Is Absolutely Essential:

No matter what your income level, and no matter what your credit & debt history is like,

the absolute first step is:

 "Getting a fully underwriten PRE-APPROVAL with a reputable mortgage lender."

I KNOW, I KNOW!!!, You're saying:

"Don't worry, I won't have any problems in getting my loan!"

 "My income and credit history is OUTSTANDING!"

Once I find a property to buy, I'll contact the mortgage lenders and shop then."

Guess what?  By the time you sit down with your Realtor® to write your offer on your dream home..., It will be too LATE to shop for a a loan!!!

When you are ready to make an offer, the last thing you need is to be rushing around to find a loan approval to demonstrate to a seller that you actually can perform on the contract you are proposing.

The property may actuallly get sold to another buyer before you can act on it.

Most property sellers and listing agents today, will insist on a loan pre-approval or even a loan commitment prior to negotiating any contract for purchase.

Loan Pre-approval is different from a Pre-Qualification, Loan approval, and Loan Commitment. (See the glossary and detailed discussions on these topics elsewhere on this site.)

Don't allow an an over-eager Loan officer to dilute the pre-approval document with conditions and subjections.

Ensure that full under-writing has been completed prior to beginning your search and that all conditions and contingencies except contract ratification and appraisals are removed from the letter.
