Buying A Home & What To Expect
As a new buyer or especially as an
investor, it is important to
understand the home buying process is very complex, from
qualifying for a loan, to making an offer (even if paying all
cash), to title, escrow and
appraisal there are always questions.
Preparing To Buy And Picking Your
Team It is important to remember that not all
real estate agents or brokers are equally skilled or trained. Most real estate agents
are unfamiliar with credit repair or loan guidlines (It's not
their job) but it effects you.
Why Speed Matters & Resolving Credit
Issues Quickly
In real estate, often "Time is of
the essence" so being able to improve your credit score quickly
is essential. Interest rates and loan programs are determined in
part by your credit score and in order to qualify, or to qualify
for a better interest rate or program, often, credit needs to be
repaired and re-scored (to hopefully raise your score) as
quickly as possible. Very few
agents or brokers have training or actual working experience in loans, real
estate and credit repair or have access to the specialized tools
and knowledge necessary to have your credit repaired and
re-scored. Many new homeowners unfortunately learn this lesson
the hard way by relying entirely upon their real estate agent,
only to discover the agent they have chosen has no special
training or experience in loans or credit repair. Working with a
properly equipped and trained broker, experienced in loans and
credit repair can mean the difference of having your credit
re-scored in as
little as 3 to 5 days instead of the usual 30- 90 days. When
ever possible try to work with a broker that is also capable of
handling your loan as well.
Benefits Of Becoming An Educated
Buyer / Investor
It is always best if you understand the options being
presented to you, which are often confusing to new buyers/investors. Becoming an educated buyer / investor, increases
your comprehension of the often confusing terminology spoken by
lenders and agents alike, especially when it comes to qualifying
for a loan and getting the best rate. The rate you ultimately
pay depends in part upon the following factors, so your
understanding of these terms is critical to getting the best
deal.
For example - 1003, 1031 - Starker, 2/28, 5/1, 80/20, 30 Due
in 5, Adjustments, Asset Depletion, Debt Service, Caps, DSCR, 4506T, SISA, SIVA, FULL DOC, LIBOR, MLO,
COFI, DTI, LTV, CLTV, MIP, PMI, LPMI, BPMI, PCOR, FICO, Mid FICO,
Discount Points, Origination Points, Reserves, Top End
Ratio, Bottom End Ratio, Tri Merge, Hits, DU, LP, Grossing
UP, Comps, Lock, Lock Extension, Lender Fee, Impounds, Etc.. These are just a few of the acronyms and terms
commonly used during a loan/purchase transaction. All of these can have a direct impact on what you ultimately could pay.
We have an
extensive background in loans as well as real estate and credit
repair which we would like to share with you, to enable you to
get the best deal possible.
Does it make sense to pay more in
points? Does it make sense to make a higher than asking price
offer? In certain situations it does. We will teach you how and
when, but to get the best deal, you must get familiar with both the terminology and the process
.
Most often, real estate,
loans and credit repair are counter intuitive. For example,
Paying off credit cards or closing accounts could actually harm
your credit score. The classes we
offer will give you the skills you need to make an informed
decision.
Remember the old saying, "A
Fool And His Money Are Soon Parted" applies perfectly to real
estate. "A well educated Investor on the other hand..."
