HOW TO GET THE BEST MORTGAGE
The first step of all is to know
what you are mortgaging. This may sound obvious, but it’s amazing to know how
often people seek a mortgage for something they clearly don’t know the value
of.
You can probably find a dozen
books in your public library on mortgage, but what you really need to
understand is how officers at banks and insurance companies think a bout loans, property
and you. Most lenders can often make a lot of money from many ignorant people, so
be sure to educate your self before you see them.
Like buying property, applying for
a mortgage works best when you have options.
Shop around, ask questions and
always bargain. There are countless choices in the mortgage market. The best
trick is to find the mortgage that works best for you, for your bank account
and for your future plans.
A mortgage is a product like a
house or a car that you’re buying with it, so you should know the ins and outs
before purchasing it. Always ensure that you make the best
bargain and don’t be afraid to walk away.
Many times loan officers offer
different rates and deals from one minute to the next, never ever accept the
first offer, and always ask for better terms. If you don’t negotiate your on
the loosing side, and if you receive a better a better deal from one lender always
go back to another lender and see if they can match it. After all each is
aiming at getting money.
If you are buying or mortgaging a house
or a multifamily dwelling, here are some re commendations,
1. Seek accounting advise from
either your lawyer or mortgage broker.
2. Know the tax history of the
property and foreseeable tax hikes, Good indicators of an impending tax
increase include, the need for a new school, pending reassessment, a busted
sewage system , un paid liabilities.etc. Remember that once you have taken on
the burden of mortgage the last thing you need is a huge tax bill which you can
control.
3. Look for hidden costs. Sound
comprehensive cost a analysis is crucial. For instance, What if the building
can not be insured at the ordinary costs? How do the costs for heating; water, and
extermination change through out the year? Try to anticipate any scenario that
will put you in the thick financial jeopardy.
The mortgage company will want to
know what you know and it is there to help you. If that mortgage company is not
happy with certain situation Attached to the property, you should not be happy
with it either since they have more experience than you.
There is need to remember
that mortgage companies often sell their
mortgages to other cooperation’s, banks ,
insurance companies ,or Fannie Mae, the people who are dealing with you initially
may not be the people you will be
sending to you monthly checks to. For that matter, you may very well get notices
to send you monthly check to different parties over a number of years.
Ordinarily, you will personally be
responsible for any home mortgage, and there a good a chance that you will be
required to place a personal guarantee on any investment mortgage .If you guarantee a mortgage, you could find your self
paying on a guarantee, Guarantees can be called upon due to the ups and downs
of market, whether related catastrophes’
and all sort of insurance-related issues.
The subject of title insurance, which
you should have to protect your self against such frauds as forgery in previous
deed and other malfeasance, is also one you should discuss carefully with your attorney.
Don’t get caught un aware.
Real estate can afford great
opportunities through mortgaging, leverage, and possibly even absentee
management, but don’t be on it. Like any thing else it requires caution, devotion,
hard work and some luck. It is true that there is nothing complicated a bout
mortgaging properties, but care and study are required.
