Frequently Asked Questions

How often can I refinance my mortgage?

There is no limit to the number of times you can refinance. However, you must qualify every time you apply and there will be costs associated with closing the loan each time.

Can I buy a home if I do not have money for a down payment?

Yes! There are a number of bond programs that offer low or no down payment financing options.

How do I know which mortgage is right for me?

The key to choosing the right mortgage is to understand the range of options and features available to you, as well as your budget, circumstances, and goals. Our licensed mortgage professionals are here to help you navigate that process. The more you know, the more comfortable and confident you will be choosing the best option for you and your family.

How long will the loan process take?

The Truth in Lending Act (TILA) does not permit a lender to close a loan until at least seven (7) business days have passed from the date your application was received. A typical home loan takes 30 days, as a number of third-party services such as appraisals, title work, and credit are required in conjunction with the mortgage process. Once you familiarize your Loan Officer with the details of your specific loan scenario, they will be able to provide you with a more specific timeline.

Will I qualify for a home loan?

The only way to find out is to speak with a qualified mortgage professional. Our Loan Officers have helped numerous clients who didn’t know if they could qualify to become home owners. We take the time to understand your financial situation and long-term financial goals, and then match you with the loan program that best fits your needs. Your approval for a loan may also largely depend on the price of the home you are financing. Getting pre-qualified prior to beginning your home search can give you an idea of what you may be able to afford.

Why do people refinance their mortgages?

Homeowners typically refinance to save money, either by obtaining a lower interest rate or by reducing the term of their loan. Refinancing is also a way to convert an adjustable loan to a fixed loan or to consolidate debts.

How much money will I have to pay upfront to buy a home?

This question does not have a simple, one-size-fits-all answer. The exact amount will depend on the price of the home you buy as well the type of mortgage financing you choose. Depending on your loan program, your down payment could be as much as 20% of the home’s price or as little as 3%, while some loans require no down payment at all.

Can I get a mortgage after bankruptcy?

You may still qualify for a home loan even if you have experienced a bankruptcy. The best way to find out if you qualify is to talk with a Loan Officer to discuss your options. Be sure to bring all paperwork regarding your bankruptcy so your Loan Officer can find the program that best fits your situation.

Should I lock my interest rate now, or wait until we are closer to our closing?

Interest rates fluctuate all day, every day. If an interest rate is good, it may be in your best interest to lock now. If you wait, you run the risk of an increase in rates later. If you are concerned that rates may go down after you lock, contact your Loan Officer to discuss your options. Some programs allow you to lock for an extended period and choose to lower your rate should a better one become available.

6 Errores Comunes Que Cometen los Compradores de Casa Primerizos y Cómo Evitarlos

6 Errores Comunes Que Cometen los Compradores de Casa Primerizos y Cómo Evitarlos

July 27, 20263 min read


Los Errores Que Se Repiten Una y Otra Vez y Que Todos Se Pueden Prevenir

Después de años ayudando a familias a comprar su primera casa Andrea Kling ha visto los mismos errores repetirse una y otra vez. La buena noticia es que todos se pueden evitar si sabes qué cuidar desde el principio. Aquí están los seis más comunes.

Error 1: Hacer Compras Grandes Antes del Cierre

Comprar un carro nuevo, muebles a crédito, o abrir una tarjeta nueva justo antes o durante el proceso de compra puede afectar tu relación de deuda a ingreso y poner en riesgo la aprobación final de tu préstamo. El underwriter revisa tus finanzas no solo al principio sino también cerca del cierre y cualquier cambio significativo puede generar preguntas o retrasos.

La regla de oro es simple. No hagas compras grandes a crédito hasta después del cierre. Una vez que tengas las llaves en la mano puedes comprar lo que necesites.

Error 2: Cambiar de Trabajo en Medio del Proceso

Un cambio de empleo aunque sea a un puesto mejor pagado puede complicar la verificación de tus ingresos justo cuando el underwriter está revisando tu aplicación. Los prestamistas quieren ver estabilidad en tu situación de empleo e ingresos. Un cambio de trabajo en medio del proceso puede requerir documentación adicional y en algunos casos puede retrasar significativamente el cierre.

Si es posible evita cambios de trabajo mientras tu préstamo está en proceso. Si el cambio es inevitable habla con tu loan officer antes para entender cómo manejarlo correctamente.

Error 3: No Revisar Tu Crédito Con Tiempo

Muchos compradores descubren errores en su reporte de crédito hasta que ya están en medio del proceso de compra cuando ya es tarde para corregirlos con calma. Un error en tu reporte puede estar afectando tu score sin que lo sepas y corregirlo puede tomar semanas o meses.

Revisar tu crédito con varios meses de anticipación te da tiempo de identificar errores, disputarlos correctamente y mejorar tu score si es necesario antes de que empiece el proceso formal.

Error 4: Buscar Casa Antes de la Pre-Aprobación

Enamorarte de una casa antes de saber cuánto puedes realmente calificar lleva a decepciones innecesarias. Es muy fácil caer en love con una propiedad que está fuera de tu presupuesto o limitarte a un rango más bajo del que realmente calificas. Además sin pre-aprobación muchas ofertas ni siquiera se toman en serio en mercados competitivos como el área de DC, Maryland y Virginia.

La pre-aprobación es el primer paso, no el segundo.

Error 5: Mover Dinero Grande Entre Cuentas Sin Documentarlo

Los underwriters necesitan poder rastrear el origen de todos los fondos que vas a usar para el enganche y los costos de cierre. Mover dinero entre cuentas, recibir depósitos grandes en efectivo o transferencias sin una explicación clara pueden generar preguntas y retrasos mientras se solicita documentación adicional para explicar cada movimiento.

Si vas a recibir dinero de un familiar como regalo o préstamo habla con tu loan officer antes para documentarlo correctamente desde el principio.

Error 6: Enfocarse Solo en la Tasa de Interés

La tasa es importante pero no es lo único que determina el costo total de tu préstamo. Los costos de cierre, el tipo de programa que usas, el seguro hipotecario y los términos específicos del préstamo también afectan cuánto vas a pagar realmente a lo largo de los años. Un préstamo con una tasa ligeramente más baja puede terminar costándote más si tiene costos más altos en otras áreas.

Es importante mirar el cuadro completo y no solo el número de la tasa.

Cómo Evitar Estos Errores

La mejor forma de evitar estos tropiezos es tener una conversación temprana con tu loan officer incluso antes de empezar a ver casas. Así puedes planear con tiempo, preparar tu documentación correctamente y evitar sorpresas de último momento que pongan en riesgo tu cierre.

¿Tienes dudas sobre alguno de estos puntos en tu situación específica? Escríbele a Andrea Kling y lo revisan juntos antes de que empieces a buscar casa.
