Top 10 Things to Ask Your Mortgage Broker
Don’t work with just any mortgage broker. Even if
you have bad credit and have to search harder for lenders willing to work with
you, take the time to interview several candidates to choose a reputable
company.
Here
are 10 Questions to ask your Mortgage Broker
#1. Which
loan is right for me?
Whether you have good or bad credit, it’s important
that any broker you choose offers mortgage loan options that are right for your
situation. Brokers generally have access to loan products from a variety of
lenders. It’s important to compare lenders to get the best deal. Whether you
want to find bad
credit refinancing or purchase a home, it’s important to
have a broker who will work on your behalf. If you get the sense that a mortgage
broker or lender is trying to steer you into a cookie-cutter loan or doesn’t
really understand the business, run, don’t walk, away.
#2. What
is the real interest rate on the loan?
Ask for the annual percentage rate (APR), which includes the
interest rate and other fees, such as closing costs, points, and the margin.
Home loans for people with bad credit will have higher interest rates so make
sure you are being given accurate quotes based upon your credit score. If you
are being offered an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), find out what the rate cap
is, which index is used to figure out the interest rate, and how often rates
can be adjusted.
