Let's
talk a little about buying a new home. Purchasing a new home can
be a daunting task when you don't even know where to begin. Do you
find your dream home first and then try to get financing? Or do
you arrange for financing and then search for a home? Either
option will work. But if you want the whole thing to go smoothly,
you should arrange your financing in advance. You will know
exactly how much home you can afford, exactly how to structure the
purchase offer, exactly how much money you will need for a down
payment and closing costs, and exactly the amount of time required to
close the loan. This puts you in a powerful position as a
homebuyer. You see, you know exactly what you will offer the
seller, and ask the seller to offer you, to make the deal work.
And you can close the transaction quickly, thereby eliminating the
chance that the seller may "change his mind". You also
have an advantage over other home seekers because you are ALREADY
APPROVED! If you were the seller, would you want go with a
sure thing or would you cross your fingers and hope that the buyer could
get financing while you effectively took your home off of the market and
waited 30-60 days? The home seller wants money, and sooner is
better than later. Can you see that you have a distinct advantage?
TIP:
Get approved BEFORE you go looking for your new home. It will
make the process go more smoothly.
Pre-Qualified,
Pre-Approval, Approval... What Does it all Mean?
Some buyers think getting pre-qualified is the same thing as getting
pre-approved when in fact they are quite different. While definitions
change in the market, below are general descriptions of what each
process entails.
Pre-qualification
Getting pre-qualified is simply getting an idea of the price range you
can afford. It is based on your stated income, assets, and liabilities.
With a pre-qualification, your information is not verified and the loan
your pre-qualified for is not guaranteed. With e-MoneySolutions Mortgage
1st Approval, you can get pre-approved before you shop for a home and
the loan amount you qualify for is guaranteed.
Pre-Approval
During the pre-approval process is when the information you provide a
lender is verified. There are two phases of the Pre-Approval process. In
the first phase you give your lender permission to obtain your credit
report. Your credit report will often confirm the information you
provided them about debts, your employer and how long you have lived at
your current address. It will also give them your credit score, or your
credit rating. If the credit score falls within the acceptable range for
the program that you're interested in, you become pre-approved. If your
credit score is too low for your preferred loan program, your lender
will discuss your credit report with you. (See Credit
101) Some erroneous information
on the report that can be removed to improve your rating, or perhaps you
have a situation that the lender will allow an exception. If you don't
qualify for a particular program, there may be another program that best
fits your situation; your lender is there to help you work through this
process and find the right loan for you.
Once this phase is completed, most lenders consider you pre-approved for
a home loan. However, to help you avoid making the common mistake of
extending an offer beyond your buying power, e-MoneySolutions takes the
pre-approval process one step further.
When we receive your application and documentation, we verify your
employment and financial information to ensure it is within our
underwriting guidelines. (See Loan
Checklist) As long as your financial picture does not
drastically change, after it has been confirmed, you're approved - with
the condition that the home you are purchasing appraises for the
purchase price. This extra step solidifies how much home you can
purchase, and strengthens your negotiation power with realtors and
sellers.
Most lenders require a small fee to apply for a loan, which is typically
used to cover the cost of the appraisal and credit report. You will pay
this fee up front because the lender has to obtain an appraisal in order
to approve your loan. Regardless, if you decide to go through with the
loan and purchase the property, the lender has to pay the appraiser and
the costs to obtain your credit report.
Approval
Final approval is when you have found your home, it has been appraised,
the title report has been received and everything has been found to be
acceptable to the lender. Once you receive final approval, you're ready
to close.
Knowing the difference between getting pre-qualified and getting
pre-approved can help you avoid costly mistakes - including bidding on a
home that is outside your price range. To get pre-approved, Click

NO
DOWN PAYMENT HOME PURCHASE LOANS
Today,
you can buy a home with as little as 0% down payment. With
interest rates at their lowest in 40 years, and no money required for a
down payment, you really can't afford to pass up this opportunity.
These loan programs usually require fairly good credit and a stable work
history.
NO
INCOME VERIFICATION LOANS
Yes,
you heard right. We have loans that do not require verification of
your income. These loans work well for self-employed borrowers,
and require a high credit score. Check your credit score:
Depending
on the lender, you may be required to sign an IRS Form 4506 allowing the
lender to request your income tax returns in the future if they so
choose.
COMBINATION
LOANS
80/20.......80/10/10.......80/15/5.......What
is all this talk about combination loans? It almost sounds like a
football quarterback ready for the ball to be hiked. In reality,
combination loans are a great way to finance a home purchase with a low
down payment and avoid paying costly mortgage insurance. Why not
pay mortgage insurance? First of all, it adds to your monthly
payment. Second, that money is rarely tax deductible*.
(*Consult with a tax advisor) Third, it is money that you will
never see again because it does not pay down the principle balance of
your loan. You are paying a third party to insure your lender
against possible default of the loan. With a combination
loan, we provide a first mortgage for 80% of the purchase price of the
home, and a second mortgage for a certain percentage. Hence the
first number is your first mortgage percentage, the next number is the
second mortgage percentage (from a lender or seller financed) and the
last number is the down payment percentage. With a combination
loan, you can still finance 100% of the purchase price, but you now have
access to lower interest rates and no mortgage insurance.
Combination loans usually require fairly good credit.
BAD
CREDIT LOANS
Have
you encountered some financial bumps in the past? We have access
to hundreds of loan programs designed especially for you. The
first step in the process for poor credit loans is to pull a credit
report. We must know your score and see exactly what has been
reported on your credit report in order to locate your perfect
loan. When applying for loans with a bumpy credit history, be sure
to fill out the complete full application and provide payment for your
credit report at the end of the application. This will enable us
to find the best options for your situation. You should also work
on re-establishing your credit.
