Refinance & Mortgage Tips: Down Payment From Savings

Refinance & Mortgage Tips: Down Payment From Savings

by: Tristan Hunt

Once you?ve figured out how much of a down payment you can make on your home mortgage, it?s time to determine how to document the source of your funds for the down payment and closing costs. Now you might be saying, ?Why do they care where I get the money?? Lenders need to verify the source of funds to both assess the underlying risk in you as a borrower as well as to prevent loan fraud. This makes it imperative for you, the applicant, to maintain complete and detailed records of how the money which you plan to use for a down payment makes it into your hands. Money from your own savings, checking & money market accounts looks best to the bank for a variety of reasons, and is amongst the easiest sources of capital to document.

4 Things You Shouldn't Do When You're Buying A Home

by: Suvadip Das

1. Don't Make a Major Purchase

You've just found out your credit is A . That's great news, because a new car would look fantastic in the driveway of your new home. But hang on--if you are depending on a mortgage to move in, you'd best wait until after closing to buy the car.

An increase in your debt to income ratio reduces the amount of monthly income available for your mortgage payment. If you tack on a higher car payment, the bank might decide you cannot afford the home.

Using cash to purchase the car could also create a problem, since banks consider cash reserves when approving your mortgage. If you make a major purchase before closing, talk to your loan officer before you do it.

2. Don't Change Jobs Unless It's Necessary

Lenders like to see a consistent job history. They aren't usually as nervous if you change jobs within the same field, but it's better...

Debt Consolidation Primer ? Four Things You Can Do to Get Out of Debt

by: Charlie Essmeier

Problem debt is rampant throughout America. In addition to mortgages and auto loans, the average household in the U.S. has nearly $10,000 in credit card debt. As the major credit card companies have recently doubled their minimum payment requirements, now is a good time to outline the various options available to most consumers who have more debt than they can handle.

# Stop spending money on nonessential items. ?Nonessential? is difficult to define, but it more or less means anything that isn?t absolutely necessary to live. Phone bills, mortgages, and groceries are essential. Lattes at Starbucks, satellite television, and meals from fast food restaurants are not. By cutting out all extra spending, you can probably save several hundred dollars per month. That money can be used to reduce debt.

# Consolidate your debt. If you have more than one credit...

Mortgages - The Inside Story

Mortgages - The Inside Story

by: David Wood

Getting a mortgage to buy a property (or a remortgage to get a better deal on existing property) is not easy. Mortgaging is a complex process and will always involve some professional services and advice.

At a minimum you will require a solicitor to handle conveyancing and title of the property, you may also use a mortgage broker or advisor and even perhaps a property consultant and/or surveyor (in addition to the surveyor acting on behalf of mortgage lender).

For some, particularly first time buyers, dealing with all these "experts" can seem daunting. So lets examine some of the basic issues regarding mortgages and remortgages to better prepare you.

A mortgage is simply a "home loan", basically a type of secured loan using the property as security for the lender. To protect themselves lenders will need to know how much property is worth just in case they have to sell it to recover the...
