The process of getting a home mortgage can be a daunting experience. You are thinking about taking out the biggest loan in your life. This will probably put a personal strain on you. You also have to get the paperwork ready in order to complete the process. In order to get through this process successfully, look out for common mistakes home buyers make.

1.) Ignoring your credit score. Most prospective home owners leave getting approved for a mortgage up to luck. Well, you can take control of your luck by understanding your credit score. Request a copy of your credit report at least several months before you consider buying a home. This will give you enough time to dispute any mistakes on the report, and fix any legitimate errors (like paying off a utility bill that you didn’t when you moved out of your last apartment).

2.) Not seeking out federal or state grant programs. There are a number of programs in place that help first-time home buyers get through the process. You may find that you qualify for grants that aim to help first-time home buyers that will help cover down payment and closing expenses.

3.) Not getting a pre-approval from a lender. Most home buyers will confuse a pre-approval with a pre-qualification. When you are pre-approved for a loan, this means you have already gone through the process of applying and have filed all of the accurate paperwork and have been approved. This means you already have a loan lined up for the purchase of a house. On the other hand, a pre-qualification is only a prediction a lender makes on how much you may be approved for based on your credit to income levels.

4.) Buying too big. Lenders will often approval an individual for more than they can actually afford. This does not mean you should go and buy the biggest house on the block. Make sure you are in tune with your finances and that you buy within your budget. Remember, as a new home owner you will be responsible for any unexpected damages that occur to the property.

5.) Taking the first loan that comes your way. Shop around and get to know what kind of interest rates are available to you with the credit rating you have. You will probably end up paying more if you take the first loan that comes your way without researching your options thoroughly.

6.) Paying too much for service fees. Sometimes lenders will add on service fees for illegitimate reasons. Make sure you are well-informed about the fees are you are being charged.

7.) Being unprepared for closing costs. Many times closing costs are a hidden expense that first-time home buyers may overlook. This is a particular amount of money you have to pay when you actually close the deal on the home. You will be responsible for lawyer’s fees, taxes, title insurance among others. Make sure you are prepared for this major expense.

8.) Not having money on hand for a rainy day. Too often home buyers spend all of their money getting into the home, that by the time they’re in, there’s no more money left in the bank. When you become a home owner, you have to be financially prepared for any surprises, like the water heater breaking. You want to be able to comfortably make your home mortgage payment on time and have additional savings put aside for unexpected surprises. Welcome to home ownership!

A FL first time home buyer has always been able to find a good deal in the Sunshine State. Now the same is true when you need a vacation or second home mortgage.

Over the weekend I finally caught the movie, No Country for Old Men. It’s critically acclaimed and several friends recommended that I go see it. At times the movie was boring and slow. At times it was quick witted and interesting. However, most of the time nothing about the movie made sense.

In the current mortgage landscape nothing makes sense.

I still get several refinance requests from the internet where people are shopping and getting quoted rates that haven’t existed in years. Moreover, to get a loan closed today is much more difficult than ever before. So for anyone to do a loan at the lowest possible rates doesn’t make any business sense.

Some requests are for home purchases by real estate investors. Every day lenders are limiting their risk by limiting what a mortgage broker can and cannot submit. Every day programs are disappearing. There are very few high risk loans available. It’s only a matter of time before buying a home with no money down will become extinct.

Most of the inquiries I get are questions. Simple questions such as “Is now a good time to refinance?” or “Will not paying my bills hurt my credit?” The people who ask these don’t give me any information about themselves just a name and an email. That’s like asking your optometrist (eye doc) “Do I have ocular degeneration?” without having him/her/it look at your eyes.

Just like the movie, No Country for Old Men, there is no end in sight to all the madness.

The caucus in Colorado is Tuesday. Isn’t twenty years of Bush (4) + Clinton (8) + Bush (8) enough? For the record, I’m a huge fan of Barry. If you read his bio, you might become one too. He’s half African, half Caucasian. Raised in Hawaii. Lived in Indonesia. Schooled in California and NY. Senator for Illinois. He’s got the whole country and a lot of ethnicities covered plus according to the NY times he’s a MAC.

Rate cuts, rate cuts, and more rate cuts.

I’ll be the first to admit that I really didn’t think the Giants had a shot at winning the Superbowl. I grew up watching both the Jets and the Giants but since my brother liked the Giants, I adopted the Jets as my team just to spite him. Boy do I regret that move big time!

Despite being a Jets fan, it’s hard for me to hate the Patriots. New England line backer Tedy Bruschi is the same ethnic chop suey as I am.

Keeping up with the low interest rates: . I haven’t seen rates on a 30 year fixed this low in years. Yet for some strange reason people are playing the “wait and see” game. Personally I hate this game mainly because people don’t know jack about the mortgage market. The rate cut means nothing to the mortgage market. Nothing. My advice is simple, if rates are low enough for you to act, then act.

Keeping up with the Joneses: . I had an interesting discussion with a friend of mine in California who said “It’s hard to keep up with the Joneses especially when the Joneses are totally out of control.” Foreclosures are rampant in California and it’s getting worse. Maybe now people will try to keep up with their other neighbors, the ones with the older model cars.
