Mortgage : Home Loans : Refinance : Home Equity Loans

By Ben Afzal

Here are some loan related factors you may want to consider:

• consider how many different offers you want to get from different lenders
• research the type of loan you are interested in
• figure out what your monthly payment will be under different loan types
• use online mortgage calculators to help you do the loan math - there are many available online for free
• compare loan offers from different lenders for the same loan type
• compare loan offers made on the same day because interest rates fluctuate from day to day
• check out your credit report
• resolve any errors on your credit report before you look to refinance
• your neighborhood bank doesn’t necessarily have the best mortgage
• decide how long you expect to keep the property - you can fix the interest rate for this timeline
• there are new loan options such as 40 year mortgages or 50 year mortgages
• a prepayment penalty may get you a lower interest rate
• is the mortgage adjustable
• does the loan have private mortgage insurance
• will you run into problems because you are self-employed
• what will the closing costs be
• will you have to get a hard money loan if your mortgage is difficult to do
• decide how much you can put down, and how your payment size will change with different downpayments
• will you need a co-borrower to help your loan
• can you use builder incentives to get upgrades on your new property
