Are you thinking of financing a new home?

For many people, applying for mortgage financing can be one of the more stressful parts of buying a house. But it doesn't have to be. I've got great connections to several lending companies in Long Beach, and they've helped me realize some things that will make the loan application process easy.

1 – Assemble a list of questions about your loan program

If you find that you do not completely realize the ins and outs of all the different programs, make sure you bring a list of questions with you. It is a challenge understanding the distinctions between both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages. I or one of my lenders will assist you with understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each.

2 – Decide when to lock

Locking in a rate designates that a mortgage lender guarantees the mortgage interest rates for the loan – often at the time the loan application is sent in. By floating the rate, you can lock the rate at any time between the loan application day and the issuing of closing documents. Buyers who prefer to float believe the interest rates will plunge in the near future. Click here to see the outlook for the next 90 days of interest rates.

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

If you opt to pay additional points to lower the rate of your mortgage loan, you will pay for them in cash at the time of closing. Every point is 1 percent of the mortgage loan. Click here to use our points calculator. This tool will help you determine if buying points is the best option for you.

4 – Bring your paperwork

Obtaining a loan requires a lot of paperwork, so you should spend some time getting all your documents together. Click here to get a feel for normal information that goes on a loan application.
