reverse mortgage - Arkansas AR: Loans & Mortgages :: Refinancing :: Bad credit loans :: First time buyers home loans :: Advice on the best loan for you :: Mortgage advisor. How long before I can get my loan? The settlement closing of a loan requires about 30 days from the date of the locked-in rate. While at settlement, you will read and sign numerous documents related to the purchase or refinance of your property. Your settlement agent will be able to answer any questions you may have regarding these documents. Settlements usually run smoothly and are completed within 60 minutes. FHA financing means the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has guaranteed the repayment of the loan to the lender. Because there is less risk involved for the lender, a smaller down payment is often possible. But FHA loans require the borrower to pay mortgage insurance premiums. The amount of this premium varies; check with your lender if you have questions. Both fixed rate and adjustable rate loans are available with FHA financing.What is a rate lock-in? A lock-in, or rate lock option, ensures the borrower a commitment to a specified mortgage rate, including not only the interest rate but also its discount/origination points. The borrower must agree with an authorized representative of East West Mortgage Company for a specific interest rate in order to choose this option. It is also possible to choose not to lock-in a specific rate, but instead to float for a certain number of days. Floating means simply a borrower electing to have interest rates move up and down according to market conditions until a specific rate is elected to be locked-in. All borrowers electing this option must lock-in a rate and its discount points at least five (5) business days prior to a scheduled settlement, or else your settlement will be delayed. Types of Mortgage LendersThe correspondent may fund the loans themselves or funding may take place from the larger company. Either way, the loan is usually underwritten by the sponsor. It is almost like being a mortgage broker, except that there is usually a very strong relationship between the correspondent and their sponsor. MORTGAGE BROKERS Basically, wholesale lenders use mortgage brokers as their loan officers. They offer a lower rate to the broker, the broker adds on his compensation, and the rate is usually about the same as you would get using a mortgage banker. Sometimes the rate is lower, sometimes higher, depending on how much compensation the broker adds on.What happens after I apply? The lender initiates a credit check and arranges for an appraisal of the property you plan to buy (or the current property you want to refinance). The appraisal assures you and the lender that the property has fair market value. The lender is investing in you and, in the unlikely event of default on your loan, the property must be worth enough to settle the debt. Credit scoring helps lenders decide to fund a loan. As credit scoring has become more sophisticated, lenders now look at other factors in your credit history as well. Some lenders will also look at how many inquiries have been made into your credit report recently. They might believe that a large number of inquiries means that you have applied for a large amount of credit recently. Why is the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on the Truth in Lending Disclosure higher than the rate shown on my mortgage note? The APR rate reflects the cost of your mortgage loan as a yearly rate. This rate is generally higher than the rate stated on your mortgage note because the APR includes other costs, such as origination fee, loan discount points, and pre-paid interest. The APR allows you to compare, in addition to the interest rate, the total cost of financing your loan, among various lenders. Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMS): Payments increase or decrease on a regular schedule with changes in interest rates; increases subject to limits Types: Balloon Mortgage: Offers very low rates for an initial period of time (usually 5, 7, or 10 years); when time has elapsed, the balance is due or refinanced (though not automatically) Two-Step Mortgage: Interest rate adjusts only once and remains the same for the life of the loan ARMS linked to a specific index or margin Advantages: Generally offer lower initial interest rates Monthly payments can be lower May allow borrower to qualify for a larger loan amount What kind of lender is best? If you talk to a loan officer, he (or she) will probably say the lender they work for is the best and give you a list of reasons why. If you meet the same loan officer years later and he works for a different kind of lender, he will give you a list of reasons why that type of lender is better. |
