Better Homes Realty can assist you in financing your home.

Stressed out about getting financing for a home purchase? You don't have to be. I've got great connections to several lenders in CCC, and they've helped me learn a few things that will make the process of applying for a loan pretty simple.

1 – Put together a list of questions about your loan program

If you don't thoroughly realize the pros and cons of the various programs, make sure you have a list of questions with you. It's hard to understand the characteristics of fixed and adjustable rate mortgages. I or one of my lenders will be able to help you understand the advantages and disadvantages of each.

2 – Decide when you want to lock

When you lock in an interest rate, a lender is guaranteed to commit to the mortgage interest rates for the loan – most often at the time the loan application is submitted. By floating the rate, you can lock the rate at any time between the loan application day and closing. Those who opt to float believe that interest rates will decline in the near future.

3 – Decide if you want to pay additional points to lower your interest rate

Typically you can choose to pay additional points to lower the rate of your mortgage loan. Every point is 1 percent of the mortgage loan and is payable in cash at closing. Click here to use our points calculator. This tool will help you decide if buying points is the best option for you.

4 – Gather your paperwork

Obtaining a mortgage loan requires lots of paperwork, so you should take some time to get your documents together. Click here to see typical information that goes on a loan application.
