                                                                        Thinking Ahead

The following are some suggestions you might need to consider before you start searching for properties.

 

Pre-Qualification: Meet with Lender to find out how much you can afford to pay for a home base on your income-debt ratio.

Pre-Approval: Once you have been pre-qualified and Lender has verify all required information on  loan application, your Lender should be able to provide you with a letter of Pre-Approval for your loan subject to satisfactory appraisal and final lender under-writing.

Needs Vs Want: What your home must have according to your real needs ( # of bedrooms and bathrooms and so forth).  WANTS= What you wish your home would have (pool, walking closets, jetted tub, and so forth).

Organization: Decide which area you want to be (schools, community, etc.). Carry paper and pen for taking notes about what you like about properties as you search. If possible carry a Camera to refresh your memory on viewed properties of interest.     

Be Objective: Think with your head not your heart.  Categorized home in order from 1 to 5.  Decide which home meets your needs the most and discard the rest..

                How to prepare for a Lender's Credit Evaluation!

ESTABLISH CREDIT. Although a lender will not necessarily turn you down for not having credit, it is nice to see that the borrower has had previous experience with installment or revolving credit.

PAY YOUR RENT AND BILLS ON THE DUE DATE. Many people have the mistaken belief that the delinquency date is the date the bill is due and payable.  Although payment before the delinquency date will prevent late charges and will not result in a late payment showing on your credit report, it doesn't leave you any margin for error.  If you think it's due on the 15th and it's actually delinquent on the 16th, a days oversight is one day too many.

ALWAYS PAY AT LEAST THE MINIMUM PAYMENT. The lender/creditor does not care that every three months you make a substantial payment.  Those two months in between result in a 30 days and 60 days overdue payment.  A creditor would rather you make a minimum payment every month than for you to save and make a large payment every two months.

If you have numerous high interest accounts with high payments, consider a CONSOLIDATION LOAN through a lower interest credit union or lender.  The lower your overall obligations the more loan you will be able to qualify for.  Refinancing an auto loan to a lower payment would also be a consideration.  A $450.00 a month car payment consumes a large portion of your expandable income.  If home ownership is your PRIMARY GOAL consider trading in your BMW for a Ford Escort.

BUY DOWN YOUR INSTALLMENT DEBT TO SHORT TERM STATUS. The lender will consider  an installment debt with less than 12 payments remaining to be short term debts and may not have to consider the payment in your debt ratio.

IF YOU HAVE CO-SIGNED ON A LOAN, have the primary borrower refinance and remove you from the obligation.  Even if you, the cosigner, have never made a payment, you are liable and, in most situations, the lender will consider this as your obligation.  If you don't have a good payment record, start now and MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO KEEP ALL YOUR PAYMENTS CURRENT FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS.  The most recent two years are going to be perceived as the most critical time to the lender.

Lastly, DON'T INCUR NEW DEBT.  The temptation to purchase a new car, new appliances and new furniture can be very tempting.  Don't let that temptation affect your debt to income ratios and put additional limitation on the amount of home mortgage for which you can qualify.


Very Important !!
