How to shop around for the best loanShopping for a loan can be a confusing process due to the fact there are many different types of loans, APR, points, and terms,and varying interest rates. The first step is to ask the following questions, then apply them to your individual mortgage needs. 1. What cash payment, if any, is required up front and at what percentage? 2. Are there any “junk fees” assigned to the fixed dollar amount? 3. Is there any penalty for pre-payment of the mortgage? 4. What are your interest rates for a 15 year loan? 30 year loan? 5. If I am going to stay in the home less than 10 years, what would be the best loan? When shopping around for the best loan, use the APR as a determinate only if you think the time owning the house is 10 years or longer. If your estimated time is shorter, then disregard the APR and shop by specifying the rate and requesting a complete itemization of all the credit charges you will be required to pay with that rate. With a fixed rate, the best deal is the one carrying the lowest total fees. |
