How to Really Shop for a Lender The best way is to get a referral (from a Realtor or a friend), then shop other lenders. Do it properly, telling the lenders how much you are willing to pay in points and how long you want to lock in the rate. Make all your calls on the same day. Tell the lender you have already filled out an application and that you are willing to fax it in, so the rate has to be something he can deliver.

One private company has also designed and offers its own proprietary reverse mortgage product. Financial Freedom Senior Funding Corporation, based in Irvine, CA, offers directly and through correspondent lenders a product called the Financial Freedom Plan. A jumbo reverse mortgage, it is available in larger sizes than possible under the Fannie Mae or HUD programs. The Financial Freedom Plan is only available in a limited number of states. As of mid-1999, The Financial Freedom Plan was available in six states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington), but is expected to be extended to other states.

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.

You may reach a day when you have to lock in -- because you cannot draw the loan documents without locking in a rate. That might be a day when rates are up, even though they are trending downward. Locking in your rate provides a nice safe guarantee -- providing you close on time. It makes sense to build in a cushion because no one can guarantee you will close on time, even though everyone tries their best.

With interest-only mortgages, as the name suggests, each monthly repayment pays off some of the interest on the loan, but none of the capital. The idea is that, alongside your mortgage, you set up an investment vehicle into which you pay a regular sum with a view to building up a large enough investment to pay off the capital on your mortgage.

When does it make sense to pay points? Points are a one-time fee that a borrower pays to lower the interest rate. Points are defined as a percentage of your loan amount, with one point being equal to one percent of your loan. For example, if you borrow $200,000, one point would be equal to $2,000. Paying one point will generally reduce your interest rate by approximately .25%.

The Advantages of Different Types of Mortgage Lenders, continued..

Review your credit history to optimize your borrowing ability. Be sure that the information in your credit report is accurate. Inaccuracies or damage done by credit or identity fraud can seriously impact your credit rating and eligibility for the best mortgage loan programs.

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.

What counts in the loan application process? Your Income The amount of income you earn will determine the amount of money you can borrow to purchase your home. For example, if a person makes $5000 a month and spends $1600 on a mortgage loan, including property taxes, mortgage insurance and hazard insurance, the housing expense ratio is 32% (1600 divided by 5000). Normally to qualify for mortgage loans lender may spend a maximum of 33% of their mortgage payments.

**Note: You will have to pay for credit report and appraisal at time of application but these funds will be refunded to you at settlement. (Certain restrictions may apply depending on loan size.) ***Note: We do not pay for your prepaid, escrows, and any prepaid penalties or lender fees that you may have to pay to get out of your current mortgage.

Here are two calculators you can use to determine the maximum monthly mortgage payment you can afford -- the total debt to income ratio calculator and the housing to income ratio calculator.
