Residential Loans

There are literally hundreds of programs available to someone purchasing or refinancing their primary residence, second home or investment property.

Because there are so many programs, it is important to work with someone who is familiar with the wide array of programs available and to help pick the best one to fit your personal and financial needs.

One of the most popular questions I receive is, "So what is your rate?"  The answer to that question depends so much on the terms of your loan (down payment, credit score, etc.) and what your goals of transaction are.  For example, we could make your rate 1%--it is called a Pay Option ARM and is also called a negative amortization loan.  It sounds like a great rate, but it is rarely the best program for anyone and had the high likelihood of making you owe a lot more on the property than it is worth.

It is easy to play the rate game, but keep in mind that you will know when you are working with true professional when they put the best program ahead of the rate.

Worried About Credit?

Are you worried about your credit history? Just about everyone has something in their past credit that is less than perfect. The most important thing is to learn what is on your report, determine what impact that information has on your credit rating, and work on repairing and restoring any damage that may have been done.

Credit scores range from 350-850.  Most people are somewhere in between.  Downpayment and credit score are two of the top factors when determining the interest rate you will receive.  
     
Even if you have less than perfect credit, we can outline what options are available to you given your full financial picture.  If you decide you are not satisfied with this type of financing, then together we can map out what you need to do with your credit and finances for the next six to twelve months in order to qualify for the interest rate you want.

There are three main credit bureaus that most creditors (such as credit card companies, banks, leasing companies, etc) provide information to on a monthly basis. Each month, your credit holders report information to the credit bureaus about your current balance, minimum payment requirements, and credit history. If you need specific information from one of the major credit bureaus, following is the contact information for each of them:

TransUnion (TUC)

FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT
If you would like to review the items in your credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com to receive account information. Note that if you would like to receive a credit report with your scores, contact me directly.  Credit scores vary based on who pulls your credit report (credit card company, auto loan, consumer credit, mortgage loan), so if you're going to pull it, let's make it count!  The scores generated if you pulled it yourself will be different than when a mortgage professional pulls your report. This is because the report is generated based on what kind of risk is being taken. A credit report pulled for a mortgage loan will generate lower scores because it is assuming the most risk.
