Mortgage Basics Every Buyer Needs to Know

Mortgage Basics Every Buyer Needs to Know

Buying a home – at least on the financial end of things – can be a confusing process. Here’s what you need to know about mortgages before you start applying for yours.

Mortgage Basics Every Buyer Needs to Know

When you apply for a mortgage, you have to do your homework. Consider this a great start!

  • The higher your credit score is, the more favorably lenders look at you
  • Don’t make any big financial changes before you buy a home
  • You absolutely need preapproval

Credit Scores

The higher your credit score is, the more favorably lenders will look at you when they’re deciding whether to let you borrow. A solid credit score shows lenders that you’re efficient at managing your debt, making payments and meeting your other obligations.

When you have a decent credit score, lenders can feel comfortable that you’re likely to pay them back.

Big Financial Changes

Even a big purchase – like a TV set – can derail your dreams of home ownership. Well, it’s not that dramatic… but when you’re trying to improve your credit score to get favorable terms on a mortgage loan, you don’t want to make any major purchases. They can throw off the calculations your lender has done and hold up the closing process.

Preapproval

Before you start your house-hunt, you need preapproval from a lender. A preapproval does two things: One, it shows you just how much house you can afford in your current financial situation, and two, it shows sellers that you’re really serious and able to buy when you make an offer.
