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!

Download or read book Help Me, I'm Buying a House written by Sandra Starke and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential and fun read about buying your own home - from First Time Buyers, for First Time Buyers. Illustrated throughout by well-known creative artist Ben Jones to make you smile. How to get thousands of Pounds for free towards your purchase. Work out a feasible financial scenario early. Research your property and be a step ahead. Be best prepared for viewing and offering. Understand and manage the conveyancing process step-by-step. Learn from others Almost two years ago, me and my partner had this brilliant idea: let's buy our own home! We were fed up with renting and thought we got this - a few months and we are sorted. Little did we know. When we embarked on the adventure, first thing we realised was that we didn't actually have a clue what we were doing, falling for the tricks of the trade at almost every step of the journey. We relied on online material and a few books explaining WHY you should buy, but not really HOW. We tumbled through the process from step to step, without being properly prepared for what was supposed to happen next and what was realistic. We had to let one house go after its survey revealed lots of issues that we could have spotted, then spent more than half a year trying to find another one and finally wound up in a chain that caused an additional 6-month delay. Thankfully, we are both scientists. In our best bid to get on top of everything, we started to do uncountable hours of research, calculations, reading up and talking to relevant people - agents, surveyors, mortgage brokers, other First Time Buyers. While we were suffering through the conveyancing process, I finally realised that I increasingly needed a therapeutic outlet. This is how this book was born: a catharsis, a plea that no matter what, something good must come out of this!! I thought - if nothing else, let's pass on everything that we have learned to make this a little easier for someone else. Because no-one deserves the unnecessary chaos, stress and financial losses that come with buying your own home. This book is our compiled wisdom to make the home buying process more transparent. We hope it will help you plan, make informed choices, be better in control of the process and, most importantly, know what is coming and what to expect. The purpose of this book is for you to be prepared and less at the mercy of 'the system'. Contents Chapter 1. WHAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER RIGHT NOW Chapter 2. CONSTRAINTS Chapter 3.
