Applying for a new home loan

When purchasing a home, applying for financing is very stressful for a lot of people, but it doesn't have to be. Being close to a lot of lending companies in the Cincinnati area has helped me understand a lot of the things that will make the loan application process much easier.

1 – Organize a list of questions regarding your loan program

If you don't entirely comprehend the ins and outs of all the different programs, make sure to bring a list of questions. It's a challenge understanding the differences between both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages. I or one of my trusted lenders can assist you in understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each one.

2 – Determine when you want to lock

When you lock in an interest rate, the lender is sure to commit to the interest rates for the loan – generally at the time the loan application is presented. By floating the rate, you can lock the rate at any time between the day you apply for the loan and closing. Buyers who choose to float presume that the interest rates will plunge in the near future.

3 – Determine if you want to pay additional points to reduce your rate

Oftentimes you can decide to pay additional points to lower the interest rate of your mortgage loan. Every point is 1 percent of the loan and is payable in cash at closing. Click here to use our points calculator. This tool will assist you with determining if purchasing points is the best option for you.

4 – Compile your paperwork

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