One way you used to be able to distinguish a direct lender was from the fact that the loan documents were drawn up in their name, but this is no longer the case. Even the tiniest mortgage broker can make arrangements to fund loans in their own name.

Property Insurance Why do I need insurance on my property?

If you are self-employed or receive 1099 income, then you need a two-year track record. Lenders go by what you declare to the IRS as income, since that is documentable. Since some self-employed people overstate their expenses, this may understate your income. Look at the Schedule C of your tax returns for the last two years and the number at the bottom that says profit is your annual income. You can add any depreciation to that figure. Add them together and divide by twenty-four.

Provide your mortgage company with documents in a timely manner If you let your rate lock expire, you could end up paying higher rates.

Below is a sample of one section of a rate sheet for thirty-year fixed rate loans. Rate Cost . . . 6.250% 2.000 6.375% 1.500 6.500% 1.000 6.625% 0.500 6.750% 0.000 6.875% (.500) 7.000% (1.000) 7.125% (1.500) 7.250% (1.875) 7.375% (2.125) 7.500% (2.375) The rate sheet shows the interest rate and the cost to the loan officer, expressed in points. One point is equal to one percent of the loan.

What are the upfront costs? Some fees may be required up front, such as the credit report, property appraisal and loan application fee.

Age Restriction for Reverse Mortgages In general, reverse mortgages are limited to borrowers 62 years or older who own their home free and clear of debt or nearly so, and the home is free of tax liens.

What is a Home Equity Loan?

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.

15, 30 Year FHA Programs An FHA mortgage loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (a division of the (HUD)). Although mortgage lenders provide the mortgage funds, the FHA sets underwriting standards for approving applicants. In many cases, FHA underwriting guidelines are more lenient than conventional (not government insured or guaranteed) underwriting guidelines. This leniency makes it easier for borrowers to qualify for a mortgage loan (low down payment requirements and a higher monthly debt allowance). FHA limits the types of loan programs it insures, but it will insure the more popular 30 year fixed, 15 year fixed and one year adjustable loan programs. However, borrowers are limited to the amount that they can borrow using an FHA-insured mortgage. Applicable loan limits differ by county, so contact your local HUD office or The Mortgage Expert for specifics.

Different Than a Home Equity Loan A reverse mortgage is different from a home equity loan or line of credit, which many banks and thrifts offer. With a home equity loan or line of credit, an applicant must meet certain income and credit requirements, begin monthly repayments immediately, and the home can have an existing first mortgage on it. In addition, there is no restriction on the age of borrowers.

What are closing costs? Once a loan has been approved by the lender, the buyer is asked to go to settlement to sign papers, and the loan process is complete! There are certain costs involved in closing a loan which usually amount to about 2%-6% of your mortgage loan. For example, if your mortgage loan is $85,000, your closing costs might range from $1700 to $5100. These closing costs will be in addition to your down payment on the house.
