Download or read book Unlocking Mortgage Secrets for Home Ownership written by Toby Lynn and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to this short, informative Home Buying Guide using FHA and VA mortgages. I want to dedicate this book to all Home Buyers and their Realtors. Home ownership, in my humble opinion, is a profound choice to make and then even more so to follow through on it. It can be a little scary and stressful for the first time perhaps. We work with people who buy for all kinds of reasons and life changes. Scary and stressful can be there for everyone. My goal is to make it as less-so as possible. I purchased my first home in 1982. I was single, my mother was aghast and concerned no great prospective husband would be awaiting me because I would appear too independent. My father was more like; you go girl! And my interest rate was 17.625%, because that's just what they were then. I provide financing on all loan types including for primary residence, 2nd homes and investment properties. I love FHA and VA loans because different in each case, they allow the perspective home owner an opportunity to own their own home under circumstances that may be otherwise too challenging to do so. My goal, is to help you if you are reading this as a Buyer, to own a piece of the American Dream. If you are a Realtor, my goal is to help you help that Buyer own a piece of the American Dream. I am licensed in GA and FL and can close any loan throughout each of those states. Outside of these states, maybe I can help to refer you to someone else who can. It's also important to note some of the guidelines I have outlined in this book are subject to change.

Download or read book Mortgage Loan Secrets written by Janice Szur and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most buyers are unfamiliar with the process of getting a loan or mortgage and what it really takes to get approved. This is not only important for first time home buyers but experienced owners too. It may have been awhile since a current home owner has purchased a home and acquired a mortgage and the rules change constantly. Buyers get frustrated with all the paperwork and they feel like they are asked for the same items over and over and over again. Most buyers don't really know what buying power they have. I see both ends of the scale: people who feel they can afford twice as much as allowed, and others who could qualify for five times more than they want. Also, there are various loan programs with numerous possibilities, down payment options, and the types of lenders who are available. All these options can make your head spin. The industry is constantly changing, which can confuse a buyer. The questions I hear most often are: "What is the interest rate?" and "What is my payment?" Although both are very valuable questions, they are not necessarily the critical ones when it comes to getting a mortgage. Finding the ideal loan officer and loan program is crucial and critical in getting you through the preapproval stage, underwriting, a final approval and all the way to the closing table. As an experienced business owner and loan officer, I have read the thousands of pages of regulations, and studied the various loan programs, in order to help my buyers get into the right program, at the right time, and for the right reasons. When purchasing real estate, and obtaining a home loan or mortgage, there are so many variables that a buyer should consider. Financing your first home, second home or cottage, or investment property all require preparation on your part. Do I get an FHA, VA, RD or a conventional loan, or do I get what is called a non-qualified mortgage? Do I need to worry about PMI - and what exactly is that? Do I get a variable rate or a fixed rate? Does the length of time I plan on living in the house matter? Each state and local entity has some of their own costs and rules. After reading this book, you will have an understanding of what is needed, why you should work with a qualified and experienced loan officer, and be ready to breeze through the process and if prepared do it less than 30 days. I have even closed loans in 8 days. I will cover mortgage basics, what is a good credit score, and what are the four c's of getting a loan. What is the loan process, what is the difference between a preapproval and being prequalified. What documents will my loan officer need and what should I be doing while in process. What kind of money and where is it coming from will be discussed. What if I had some credit blips in the past, how long do I have to wait to buy a house? What options do I have for rates, length of loan and can anything change? Finally, what happens behind the scenes and what can I do now to get approved. My mantra is education, communication, and certainly having some fun along the way. Life is too short, so, you better enjoy what you are doing. Because of this, I have put together a helpful guide and reference material to assist you, the buyer, in understanding the process and to help you through that process seamlessly so you aren't pulling out your hair.
