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.

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.

Can I convert my loan to a fixed interest rate? Some ARM loans give you the option of converting your loan from an ARM to a fixed rate loan. This opportunity is usually only available for a limited period of time. If the loan is not converted to a fixed rate during this time period, the interest rate will continue to adjust for the life of the loan. Please refer to your loan agreement to determine whether or not your loan contains a conversion option. If it does, the loan documents will specify when this option is available, and how the conversion rate is calculated.

VA Financing

What is the property worth? The lender will want to know the value of the prospective home. The loan amount approved will depend on the value of the property to be determined by an appraiser. This appraisal is to ensure that the lender can recover the money he lends, even if you stop making payments. If the borrower fails to repay the loan, the lender has the right to sell the home to pay off the loan -- a process known as foreclosure.

Is a Closing Cash Saver loan for me? Closing Cash Saver loan is designed to provide you with a rebate to cover your non-recurring closing costs. While these loans are most commonly associated with refinances, they can also apply to purchases. Closing Cash Saver loans will generally have a higher interest rate than loans in which you pay closing costs out of pocket. Consequently they are a good option for borrowers that plan to keep their mortgage for less than five years.

What Is A Loan To Value (LTV) And How Does It Determine The Size Of The Loan? The loan to value ratio is the amount of money you borrow compared with the price or appraised value of the home you are purchasing. Each loan has a specific LTV limit. For example: With a 95% LTV loan on a home priced at $50,000, you could borrow up to $47,500 (95% of $50,000), and would have to pay $2,500 as a down payment. The LTV ratio reflects the amount of equity borrowers have in their homes. The higher the LTV the less cash homebuyers are required to payout of their own funds. So, to protect lenders against potential loss in case of default, higher LTV loans (80% or more) usually require mortgage insurance policy.

You might not realize that a credit card account you opened years ago, but never closed, is still on your record as available credit. If there is a significant amount of available credit, lenders may think it adds to your credit risk. Close unused or unneeded accounts before you apply for a mortgage.

Almost all loan officers are paid on commission. The amount earned by the loan officer and the branch is subject to a split -- just like real estate agents. Part of it goes to the loan officer and part goes to the branch. Any fees that are not part of the points go to the branch (or company) and are not subject to the split.

One additional advantage is that mortgage brokers tend to attract a high number of the most qualified loan officers. This is not universal, because mortgage brokers also serve as the training ground for those just entering the business. If you have a new loan officer and there is something unique about you or the property you are buying, there could be a problem on the horizon that an experienced loan officer would have anticipated.
