The present foreclosure crisis in the US is indicative of the fact that things can go wrong. That’s why shopping smart for a mortgage loan is a vital survival technique in this market. If you are in the market to buy a home, you don’t want to lose it to foreclosure. Property presents a valuable long term investment and in this article we’ll see how to keep that investment.
It is very rare that anyone buying property is able to purchase it outright. This would mean a very large cash investment, and who has access to substantial cash amounts? Owning a mortgage it a long term commitment as they usually run from between fifteen to thirty years. It is for this reason that it is important to realize any savings you can.
Three years is the absolute minimum period of time you should live in a house before selling it. If you don’t intend to do this, don’t buy! Because the costs associated with buying property and moving are very expensive. Your property has to appreciate at least 15% to make money, and this rarely happens in so short a time as three years.
Make sure you pay attention to your finances before even applying for a mortgage loan. This means seeing what you can afford, paying off high interest rate credit cards and other loans, and checking your credit report to dispute erroneous records. Pay all your bills on time in the period preceding your mortgage loan application as this reflects well on your credit report. The better the credit report the more chance the home buyer has of receiving a low interest rate.
Avoid taking out interest only loans and remember that sooner is not necessarily better. A 15 year mortgage is a short time to pay off a home loan, and the interest will definitely be higher as will the repayments. 30 year mortgages have lower interest rates and lower repayments which makes them more easy to afford.
