Getting a Mortgage

Now that you’ve made the decision to buy a home in Upper Dublin, Blue Bell, Horsham, or the surrounding area there are some important things you should know

The first thing anyone should do prior to starting to look for a new home is to sit down with a reputable local lender to discuss your income, savings, debt and fixed expenses. Get pre approved first. Know what you can comfortably afford before you start looking at homes so you and your family won’t be disappointed later.

If you’re real about your finances, you will be able to get a clear honest picture of where you stand getting a mortgage and you’ll know exactly how much house you can afford.

Unless you are paying cash for your new home, you will need to obtain a mortgage.

Getting a Mortgage

Be accurate

If you don’t give the correct information from the beginning, you and your family will be disappointed when you find you cannot get a mortgage to buy your dream house.  Worse yet, if you get denied for a mortgage because of supplying misinformation to a lender, you could end up being in ‘default’ of your contract. Sometimes that can be a costly mistake.

Another very important factor is; after you have supplied all the correct information to the lender that you don’t make any financial changes. Don’t make any financial changes that will affect your ability to qualify for a mortgage.

For instance: don’t open new credit cards, don’t buy, or lease a new car, don’t go on a shopping spree.  Mortgage lenders continue to makes periodic checks on the status of your credit throughout the lending process. They have always done this to some extent; the current state of the economy, the amount of loans that have gone through foreclosure has elevated the scrutiny.

Don’t change a thing

Changes in your finances and credit may have a detrimental affect on your ability to obtain the mortgage needed to buy your home.
