Hi Guest,
You need to follow some simple steps in order to get a home loan. The steps are given below:
- Approach some lenders and collect information on various loan programs, the available rates of interest, fees, etc.
- Compare the lenders on the basis of the rates and fees involved. Do not forget to enquire about their service background and whether they are at all licensed. Get pre-qualified with few lenders.
- Select the lender as per your suitabiity and then consider the loan programs on offer. Know more on "How to choose the best lender?".
- Compare the loan offers after enquiring about their features, rates and the benefits they can provide you with.
- Select your preferable loan program and get pre-approved with the lender you have chosen. The lender promises to provide you with a certain loan amount at a certain interest rate.
- Within 3 days of applying for the loan, you will get certain documents from the lender. As a home buyer, you also need to sign documents like Offer to Purchase Contract and Purchase Sales Agreement.
- You should have your home inspected and then apply for homeowners insurance and private mortgage insurance. In the meantime, the lender will review your application once again, evaluate your property-value and check if your property-title is clear.
- The closing date arrives and you are to sign certain documents and pay the closing costs. The lender will provide you with loan amount while the seller hands over the property to you.
Hope this is clear to you. If you have any other query, let us know about it.
Thanks,
Caron. |

Hello Recent College Grad!
Congratulations! Your Aunt will sell you the home! This is wonderful!
Will the house appriase for $90k or is it worth quite a bit more and she is trying to give you a head start in life and selling it to you for less?
Don't reply to that online, just answer yourself.
If this is the case, then again Congratulations! You need to go to your mortgage professional and ask for a 'Non-ARMS Length' transaction with "Gift of equity'. Example: If the home would actually appraise for $140,000.00 and she is selling to you for $90,000.00 and she will 'Gift' to you 'Equity' of $50,000.00-the bank will look at this as YOUR $50k down payment thanks to Auntie's equity. You only need a loan for $90k, Aunt receives $90k at closing and the bank will show this as your down payment, your loan is only 65% loan to value which gives you a nice rate and NO PMI!
If the house only appraises at $90k then you need 100% loan, unless you have a down payment. The bank will need your school transcript showing you were in school, W-2's for the places you did work and as long as your scores are over 620, you should have no problem.
Good Luck! |
