CHOOSING A MORTGAGE ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS TO YOUR LENDERS
By:Yaroslav Korchagin
There are a variety of mortgage options out there for homebuyers to choose from in the real estate market. Lenders can choose the traditional mortgage of a 30 year or 15 year fixed interest rate; or choose a graduated payment mortgage; get an ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage) with an interest rate that will vary over a 2-3 year period and then inflate considerably after the 3 year period if not refinanced for a better and more stable mortgage program. There are Jumbo mortgages; Sallie Mae mortgages or is that FHA (Federal Housing Association) government mortgages and two-step mortgages. With hundreds of mortgage options to choose from, a consumer can be overwhelmed with choosing the right mortgage.
You have hundreds of questions you need to ask your lender. You need a mortgage, but where do you start to find the mortgage that’s right for you. There is no one mortgage fits all in today’s real estate market. Just as individual buyers vary, mortgages vary as well. Finding the right mortgage to fit your needs can be a daunting and difficult task. With hundreds of mortgages to choose from, the Lender is the go to person for answers. When faced with mortgages that have term lengths and interest rates that can sink the consumer into debt before the loan is closed, it is important to choose the right mortgage that fits your consumer needs.
Using the Internet and your Lender to research the mortgages before you settle for a mortgage that could potential drop your credit scores to below refinance rates when you can’t make the mortgage payments because of a mortgage with a high interest rate and interim balloon payments is important and smart. You can save thousands of dollars if you make the right decision in choosing a mortgage.
When you choose a mortgage, do your homework first. Take the extra step and do your research to find out the parts of loan. Look at the elements of the loan to see which loan is the best one for you. You must look at the various parts of the loan; break the loan down to its smallest components; look at the bottom line for interests rates; check out the points that may determine a smaller interests rate; and look at each variable separately and together to determine if that loan is the right one for you.
There are many additional variables that you have to look at when determining the right loan to fit your needs. Ask yourself the question: “How long are you planning to live in the house you’re buying?” Will you be in the house two years, five years, ten years, twenty years, until the end of your natural life? The length of time you intend to occupy the house will determine which loan you will apply for to fit your mortgage needs.
If you have decided that your new home is the final home for you; looking at a fixed rate mortgage for 15 or 30 years may be the option for you. The interest is fixed and so is the monthly payment for the duration of the loan. However, if you are planning to be in your house for only five years, which is a short home stay, then consider an ARM or an adjustable rate mortgage. Remember in choosing the right mortgage; ask the right questions to your lender.
