Download or read book The Ultimate Home Buyers Checklist written by Greg Vanden Berge and published by Greg Vanden Berge. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What If You Could Save Thousands of Dollars Using A Simple Home Buyers Checklist? Do I Have Your Attention Now? Would You Be Interested? Put an end to the stress and annoyance of home shopping with a list of questions most people don't even know to ask. Home Buyers Beware If you've haven't purchased a home before, I would advise you to purchase this checklist and get advice form others who have been through the home buying process. Don't rely entirely on your real estate agents or it could cost you a small fortune, it happened to me. I bought a home in 1983 and filed for bankruptcy in 1985, because I thought I knew what to look for and who to trust. Wow!..... Was I ever wrong.... I paid about 35% more than I should have for a house two years later I couldn't even sell. The Real Estate Salesman even convinced us he would help us with the down payment. He was very clever. Latter I found out he had got another 2,500 dollars out of the transaction. I learned a lesson I will never forget, but unscrupulous Home owners and Real Estate Professionals BEWARE!!!! This home buying checklist is going to put you out of business. I created this checklist because my family had been telling me for years to put my money where my mouth is and do something about it. There are over 300 questions on the home buying checklist. I compiled this list of questions from over 30 years in the construction business, dealing with problems from unsatisfied home buyers. I'm the person they have to call when they finally realize they bought a house with problems.

Download or read book How to Get Approved for the Best Mortgage Without Sticking a Fork in Your Eye written by M. S. Elysia Stobbe and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that over 50% of mortgages don't close? Do you know how much home you can buy? Do you know how much paperwork in involved? Most people don't know how much home purchasing power they have, how much to expect for closing costs (varies by state), or how much paperwork is involved when applying for a home loan. Most people have no idea the difference between loan programs from bank to bank, lender to lender, or broker to broker- or what the differences are between the main types of residential mortgage providers. Most people have no criteria for choosing a lender, the type of loan to seek, or how much down payment is best for them. For example, are there differences between the types of property that may affect down payment? The mortgage industry is packed with nuance, which can lead to confusion for the consumer. While trying to buy a home, you may have people from many different professions telling you what you should do and how to make decisions-who should you listen to in which situations? Your most personal financial information is critical to the mortgage process and yet do you know who you are sending it to? What about mortgage insurance? Why is it required and when? The two questions I most often hear are: "What's the payment?" and, "What's the interest rate?" While these questions are important, there are several other questions that are just as critical: what is the right loan type for me; is there an up-front funding fee for this loan; what are the differences in available mortgage insurance; how will property type restrictions affect my loan; what are the pros and cons of this loan; what is the down payment requirement with this loan choice over another; what are the closing costs associated with each loan type; and, who is allowed to pay the closing costs? Successfully navigating the maze of questions, regulations, and requirements ultimately leads to a mortgage closing. Through over ten years of experience, thousands of clients, hundreds of Realtor and builder transactions (time line constraint purchases), and, as a licensed loan originator in 9 states and the District of Columbia, I have developed a wealth of knowledge about regulations and requirements. My commitment to client service and caring about their home buying experience has driven my passion for the individual personal experience in the mortgage industry and how the regulations and requirements affect real people in real time. With this book I'm privileged and excited to share my knowledge and experience with you. After reading this book, you will have an understanding of the big corporations that loan money to homebuyers, what other options you have and how to navigate government regulations and requirements to your advantage. I feel that an educated consumer is my best customer and I am happy to share these mortgage tools and tips with you in the hopes that you educate yourself and find the best mortgage and the mortgage professional that is right for you. In addition, I want you to know what to expect, what to ask, and, who to ask to get the answers you want and to understand what those answers really mean. With each chapter I will guide you through the mortgage process, from choosing between different loan types, to understanding the difference between a Good Faith Estimate and an Itemized Fee Worksheet, to the necessity of submitting certain documents in a particular method, and finally how to enter Closing Day stress-free and knowing that you have gotten the mortgage that makes the most financial sense for your future. The goal is to help you get the best mortgage possible for your individual needs and get to closing on time, stress free!
