The Loan Process Can Feel Overwhelming Sometimes:
- Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or not, the loan landscape is constantly changing which can feel overwhelming.
- Small mistakes or poor communication can mean your closing gets pushed back from the scheduled close date.
- When a homebuyer misunderstands their true buying power, they risk wasting time or money in the home search process.
- Because interest rates and loan options keep changing, it can be easy to accidentally get locked into a rate you'll regret later.

Should I Talk To A Mortgage Professional Before House Hunting?

Is Refinancing Worth The Cost?
Ever hear the old rule of thumb that states you should only refinance if your new interest rate is at least two points under your present rate? Maybe that was sound advice a number of years ago, but since refinance costs have been falling recently, it could be time to look into it. A refinance may be worth its cost several times over, factoring in the advantages that may come, as well as a reduced interest rate.

Is It Possible To Put Nothing Down?
We don’t think that saving for a down payment should be the reason you put your dreams on hold. We can help you buy your dream home with a zero-down mortgage loan. You’ll not only be able to afford a home sooner, but you’ll also probably be able to afford more homes. With a zero-down mortgage, the amount of loan you can qualify for is determined by your ability to make your monthly payments rather than how large a down payment you’ve saved. And, for most buyers, this means qualifying for a larger loan.

What Is Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)?
Private Mortgage Insurance, also known as PMI, is a supplemental insurance policy you may be required to obtain in order to get a mortgage loan. PMI is provided by private (non-government) companies and is usually required when your loan-to-value ratio — the amount of your mortgage loan divided by the value of your home — is greater than 80 percent.

As indicated below, many of the buyer’s costs are related to the costs of originating the loan. At Hometown Mortgage Services, we have extensive experience in mortgage lending, so we can compile a comprehensive list of mortgage-related costs in your “Good Faith Estimate.”

What About My Credit Score? Are There Things I Can Do to Help?
