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.

PITI Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance are the components of a mortgage payment.

Your First Step Toward Buying a Home When preparing to buy a home, the first thing many homebuyers do is look at homes for sale ads in newspapers, magazines and listings on the internet. Some potential buyers read how-to articles like this one. The next thing you should do – before you call on an ad, before you talk to a Realtor, before you shop for interest rates – is look at your savings. Why? Because determining how much money you have available for down payment and closing costs affects almost every aspect of buying a home – including how you write your purchase offer, the loan programs you qualify for, and shopping for interest rates.

For a 30 year purchase conventional loan*: 3.00% down = 1.04% of your loan amount 5.00% down = .78% of your loan amount 10.00% down = .52% of your loan amount 15.00% down = .32% of your loan amount 20.00% down = .00% of your loan amount * These rates are typical for all states except South Carolina (a little less). Fees can vary slightly for refinance transactions and a little more for investor properties. These rates will remain constant for 10 years and will drop to .20% beginning in year 11.

With interest rates at an all time low and looking to stay that way, now is a fine time for mortgage borrowers. For those with repayment mortgages, where every monthly payment chips away at both the capital owing and the interest on the loan, things should be ticking along nicely. For those with interest-only mortgages, though, the outlook is slightly different.

How do I get pre-approved for a loan?

An alternative to paying points is to receive a credit from the lender in exchange for a higher interest rate. Whereas points are added to your closing costs, a credit is used to reduce your closing costs. Once again, you can receive a credit of approximately one point by raising your interest rate .25%.

Selling these seasoned loans frees up more money for the portfolio lender to make more loans, which is another way that portfolio lenders engage in mortgage banking. If the loans are sold, they are packaged into pools and sold on the secondary market. You will probably not even realize your loan is sold because, quite likely, you will still make your loan payments to the same lender, which has now become your servicer.

Is anything added to my new loan amount to cover fees? No.

It is important that you review what the closing costs will be with your lender and attorney. This should take place far enough in advance of the closing to allow yourself time to obtain the necessary funds to pay the closing costs.

Low Down Payments

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.
