Q. Why is my credit so important?
A. Your credit score and the overall health of your credit are basically the main determination of the terms and qualification of your loan. The scores range from 350-850. 850 means FLAWLESS credit and 350 means horrible credit. You are rated on your ability to manage and pay your obligations. The lower your credit score is the more risk you present to the bank and therefore will realize higher interest rates. Conversely, it works if you have superb credit you get extra low rates. You get excellent credit by managing and paying your bills on time. It is important to realize that once we begin working on your loan that you do not allow anyone to pull your credit, do not continue to shop for a loan, apply for credit. When you do this, inquires are placed on your credit report and this LOWERS YOUR CREDIT SCORE. By doing this you will end up with a higher rate when you already had a loan approved with us. Also, once you get approved, you must submit your required documents into us immediately so we can close your loan. The longer your loan sits , the more risk you put on yourself for not getting the loan done, lowering your credit score, being susceptible to chance or acts of GOD, and losing the loan.
Q. Do I have to pay any money out of pocket to you?
A. no. you pay $0 money out of pocket to us. You don’t write a check nor give us any credit card information.
Q. Do I have to put any money down?
A. No. In most cases, there will not be any money down required. If you choose or prefer to put money down you can. By doing this you will get a lower payment and may realize a lower rate but it is not a requirement by us.
Q. Why do I have to pay for an appraisal fee?
A. It is a requirement of any and all banks that an appraisal is conducted on your home. The appraisal is one of the most critical determinates in the loan process. We are not allowed to pay for your appraisal. The appraisal belongs to you the homeowner and you get the hard copy of the appraisal. All we get is a digital copy of it to underwrite the loan. An appraiser local to you will generally charge $350 to appraise your home. It takes them about 30 minutes; they take pictures of the home, measure the home and make sure it’s in good condition.
Q. Is my information safe?
A. Absolutely!!! All of our files are locked up. We have secure shredder bins in place. All online information is secure and we are protected with top of the line anti-virus software. We are also a valued member of Honest E Online. We take extra steps and precautionary measures to make sure all your information is secure. We take our business very serious.
Q. Can I get a lower interest rate?
A. You sure can. Once you are approved. Your loan officer will discuss with you the various loan programs and rate that YOU can choose. You can buy down your rate or buy it up. It is totally up to you and what will make the most sense for your overall well being.
Q. What are the steps involved with getting a loan done?
A.Below is some advice that can help during the mortgage loan process from your loan officer.
    This is the basic loan process usually a 2-3 week process.
  1. We go over some information with you concerning your loan
  2. We send the loan package to you.
  3. You send the loan package back to us along with your documents that are required on the "Documentation Checklist."
  4. Appraisal is ordered with a local qualified appraiser and scheduled with the borrower (usually 2-5 business day process).
  5. Title commitment is ordered from a Title Company (usually 1 week process).
  6. Once we receive the appraisal and title commitment back in our office we send all information up to underwriter for manual review (underwriting process is usually 24-72 hours and sometimes longer towards end of the month).
  7. Lender releases the approval with conditions and our office works with their management team clearing the conditions to get your loan into closing status (usually 3-5 business days).
  8. Clear to close: once all conditions have been reviewed by underwriter and finalized the lender will send out final docs for your closing.
  9. Closing will take place at a title company near your home. Please bring two forms of ID and a check with "VOID" written on it if you will be receiving cash back.
  10. On primary residence rate/term and cash out refinance loans will officially be closed and funded 3 business days after you close.
  11. Second homes and investment properties will officially close and fund the same day or next business day.
Q. What are the differences between pre-approved and a commitment letter?
A. We pre-approve you when you fill out a short application. This tells us that based on the brief information you have submitted we most likely can do a loan for you and issue you a good faith estimate of what your loan will look like approximately.
A commitment letter is the final approval from the banks underwriters. It tells us what the final terms will be on your loan at closing. We call you up on the phone and let you know when this occurs.
Q. What are closing costs?
A. Closing costs are the necessary and customary fees involved with your loan transaction. All fees roll into your loan so that you won’t have to bring any money to closing. Here is a break down of the closing costs.
  • Loan discount fee
  • Loan origination fee
  • Broker fee
  • Processing fee
  • Underwriting fee
  • Title fees
Loan discount fee is an option. Here is where you control your interest rate. You can either buy down or buy up with your interest rate. For ever 1% of loan buy down, you can lower your interest rate .35% as a general rule of thumb. This means if you qualify for a 7% rate, with 2 discount points, you can have a rate of 6.3% and therefore lower your payment. One of the benefits to loan discount is that it is prepaid interest which is a write-off on your taxes.
Loan origination fee is the fee the bank charges to do your loan. Usually this fee is 1% of your loan amount. This can also be adjusted with your interest rate. The lower your rate you decide to take, the more loan origination you are likely to incur. The higher the rate you take, the lower your loan origination will be.
Broker fee=$500. This is a flat fee which the broker charges to do allow access to his banking lines.
Processing fee=$600. This is a flat fee that the loan processor charges to process and close your loan with the bank
Underwriting fee=$550-899. This fee is for the underwriters who underwrite your loan.
Title fees are a separate charge and have nothing to do with our company. They are a 3rd party fee. The state mandates that all mortgage loans be bound by a title. The fees range from 1%-1.5% of your loan amount. Again, these are not our fees and we have no control on these fees. They are mandated and controlled by the state and the title company.
Q. What is PMI?
A. PMI is private mortgage insurance. A bank may require you to have PMI when you do a loan that is greater than 80% loan to value on your home. The purpose of PMI is to insure the bank will be reimbursed for their money in the event that a person defaults on payment. Most of our loans do not come with PMI and we are not an advocate of its use.
Q. What is a prepayment penalty?
A. A prepayment penalty is a fee a lender will charge you for paying off the home early or for trying to refinance before a specified time period. This fee is usually 2% of your loan amount. We are happy to say that 99% of our loans do not come with a prepayment penalty and that it is optional with us. YOU don’t have to have one. We don’t prefer them in most cases.
