Applying for your home loan in Middletown with the help of Paul C. Renwick
Feeling lots of anxiety over applying for a mortgage? You don't have to be. I have close working relationships with a lot of mortgage lenders in the Middletown area, and they've helped me recognize some things that make the process of applying for a loan much easier.
1 – Assemble a list of questions about your loan program
Be sure you have a list of questions if you find that you do not perfectly understand the ins and outs of the various loan programs. I or one of my lender contacts will be able to assist you with understanding the advantages and disadvantages of both programs, because it can be hard to understand the characteristics of both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages.
2 – Determine when you want to lock
When you lock in the interest rate, a mortgage lender is sure to hold to the interest rates for the loan – usually at the time the loan application is presented. By floating the rate, you can lock the rate at any time between the loan application day and the issuing of closing documents. Those who opt to float believe that the interest rates will dip in the near future. Click here to see the outlook for the next 90 days of interest rates.
3 – Decide if you want to pay additional points to reduce your rate
Usually you can choose to pay additional points to lower the interest rate of your loan. Each point is 1 percent of the loan and is payable in cash at closing. If you're undecided as to whether or not purchasing points is right for you, click here to use our points calculator.
4 – Gather your paperwork
Acquiring a mortgage loan requires lots of paperwork, so you should take some time to get all your documents together. Click here to see typical questions you'll have to answer on a loan app.
