The Annual Percentage Rate is a good tool in comparing different lenders and the total costs involved in financing your new home. The APR takes into consideration all the costs involved in getting a mortgage and give a clearer picture of what you are paying in interest. When you look just at the interest rate this sometimes can be deceiving since their are so many ways and programs available for mortgages. A lower interest rate is always realized with Adjustable Rate Mortgages at first and then the interest rate will increase over the years. Also a lower interest rate cannot always be seen as a better deal because the lender could be charging more fees that will offset the benefit of the lower interest rate.

Mortgage Rates and Pricing Locking in Interest Rates The rate sheet on the previous page was incomplete. Time is a factor in pricing interest rates, too. Because interest rates change daily (and sometimes during the day) the longer a lender locks in a rate, the more risk that they have the market will move against them. Therefore, you pay more (in points) for a longer guarantee.

In the case of new construction, the lender will want the appraiser to inspect the home just prior to closing. This is to ensure that it is in accordance with the plans and specifications furnished by the builder or contractor.

Also, consider the following advice from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development when applying for a loan: Be sure to read and understand everything before you sign. Refuse to sign any blank documents. Do not buy property for someone else. Do not overstate your income. Do not overstate how long you have been employed. Do not overstate your assets. Accurately report your debts. Do not change your income tax returns for any reason. Tell the whole truth about gifts. Do not list fake co-borrowers on your loan application. Be truthful about your credit problems, past and present. Be honest about your intention to occupy the house. Do not provide false supporting documents.

Check to see if your credit line has a pre-payment penalty clause Many NO FEE credit lines have a pre-payment penalty clause, which can be very expensive if you are planning to sell or refinance your home in the next three to five years.

Should I consider a Flex-Pay (Interest-Only) loan option? Flex-Pay (interest-only) loans are a good means of either increasing your home purchasing power or maximizing your flexibility to control cash flow. You can save significant amounts of cash for investment, savings, or other expenditures during the first ten years of your loan. This is also a solid strategy to maximize tax deductibility, with more funds available for paying down higher cost, nondeductible consumer debt. With these loans, the minimum payment required covers interest only-you decide how much or how little of the principal to repay each month. These loans should not be confused with negative amortization loans-with Flex-Pay the principal balance NEVER increases.

Whether you choose to pay points or receive a credit, this amount will be applied to your closing costs when your loan funds. Learn more about points
