WHAT ARE YOUR FINANCING OPTIONS
A vital first step to finding your dream home is figuring out how you’re going to pay for it.
There’s no one more qualified to help you navigate through the whole financing process than a local mortgage professional.
Whether you’re buying your first home, selling your existing home in order to upgrade or downgrade, or simply taking advantage of low rates by refinancing, these folks are the ones to talk to!
What’s the difference between a Mortgage Broker and a Mortgage Banker?
A Mortgage Broker searches through the offerings of several different banks to find financing options. The Broker isn’t tied to any specific bank or lending institution, so there is more flexibility when it comes to mortgage options. He or she will do all the “shopping” for you. Working with a Broker is a good option if you’re a first time home buyer.
A Mortgage Banker works for a specific bank or lending institution. He or she works with you to create an entire banking relationship. This is a good option if you already have a strong lending/banking relationship with your local bank or credit union.
Estimate your monthly payments
A house is the largest purchase most of us will ever make so it’s important to calculate what your mortgage payment will be and how much you can afford.
Simply enter the price of the home, use a zero if the down payment is unknown, override the mortgage terms if other than 30, and enter the interest rate; the calculator will do the rest. Keep in mind that the calculator does not take in account additional fees, ie: Property taxes, home insurance, and is only an estimation tool.
