Know the score After customers apply and have their credit scores pulled by their lenders, they should ask for those too. Companies have no obligation to share them, but those scores often dictate whether borrowers get loans and how much they have to pay for them. Customers who obtain their scores can get rate quotes tailored to them, rather than receive quotes that may apply only to borrowers with better or worse credit.

No-Cost Refinancing Questions and Answers

If you are buying a condominium (or an area with HOA fees), subtract out an approximate figure to cover homeowners association fees. What you are left with is your maximum principal and interest payment.

If you choose to convert to a fixed interest rate, the conversion rate may be higher than your adjustable rate, and slightly higher than the current market rate for new fixed rate loans. However, the cost to convert your ARM to a fixed rate loan is usually substantially lower than the cost of refinancing.

Understand the difference between an equity loan and a credit line Equity loans are closed: You get all your money up front, then make payments on that fixed loan amount until the loan is paid. Equity credit lines are open: You can get an initial advance against the line, then reuse the line as often as you want during the period the line is open.

Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) A lender will require you to purchase mortgage insurance if you make a down payment of less than 20% of the market value of the home. There are different types of insurance available which often affect the type of mortgage loans you obtain. 1. Conventional Mortgages 2. FHA Mortgages 3. VA Mortgages

What if I want to change insurance companies? You may choose to change insurance companies at any time, but the procedure you follow will depend on whether you make this change mid-term (before the current policy expires), or when your current policy is up for renewal: Changing Mid-term - If we collect funds through escrow for your insurance and have already paid the premium for your current policy, we do not have funds to pay the new policy. In this situation, you must pay the premium for the new policy yourself and send us a copy of the new policy along with a paid receipt so we may update our system. You should also cancel the old insurance policy, and request a refund of any unused premium. When changing insurance companies, the effective date of the new policy must be the same as the cancellation date of the old policy, so there is no lapse in coverage.

BANKS and SAVINGS & LOANS Their major strength is that you will recognize their name. Banks and Savings & Loans often operate as portfolio lenders, but as the lending world has changed, most also operate as mortgage bankers and sometimes brokers.

Deed-in-lieu of Foreclosure - It is also called a voluntary conveyance. If you have a financial hardship and you have made a good faith effort to sell your home but have been unable to, you may be allowed to deed your property to us, the mortgage insurer or the investor. Detailed financial information and proof of hardship caused by circumstances beyond your control will be required for this option to be considered and may not be available on all mortgage types.

What points or origination fees are applied, if any? Points are prepaid mortgage interest, and you may have to pay points at closing in order to get a lower interest rate on your mortgage loan.

You have to look at it from the point of view of your old lender and your new lender, Lepre says: Both lenders are entitled to earn interest from the day they lend the money until the day they receive final payment. In a refinancing transaction, the new lender funds the loan by wiring money to the bank of the escrow agent or attorney who is responsible for disbursing the money. As soon as the new lender sends that money, the clock starts ticking and you pay interest.

Quite often only a portion of their loan programs are portfolio product. If they are offering fixed rate loans or government loans, they are certainly engaging in mortgage banking as well as portfolio lending.

Mortgage brokers also learn the hot points of various wholesale lenders and can handpick the lender for a borrower which may be unique in some way. He will be able to submit your loan to either a portfolio lender or a mortgage banker. Another advantage is that, if a loan gets declined for some reason, they can simply repackage the loan and submit it to another wholesale lender.
