Here’s Why You Should See A Mortgage Lender First.
House-hunting can be equal parts exciting and stressful. But if you take the time to speak to a mortgage lender before you see a realtor, you might be able to relieve a little bit of the stress. Here are four ways of talking to a mortgage lender first will help.
1. You’ll start with realistic expectations. Picture this: after weeks of searching, you finally find that perfect home. Not too big, not too small, just the right amount of outdoor space, bedrooms, bathrooms—but then you find out the loan amount is just out of reach. If you talk to a mortgage lender first, you can find out exactly how much house you can afford, saving you a lot of time and energy.
4. You’ll get a better understanding of your options. 30- or 15-year? ARM or fixed? There are a lot of different mortgage types to think through, and different options become available to you depending on your circumstances—for instance if you’re a first-time homebuyer or a veteran. Some options might seem more appealing if you have certain goals, like paying down your mortgage faster. A conversation with your mortgage lender will help you determine the best avenue.
