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.

Cómo Mejorar Tu Crédito Antes de Comprar Casa y Los Pasos Que Realmente Funcionan

Cómo Mejorar Tu Crédito Antes de Comprar Casa y Los Pasos Que Realmente Funcionan

July 27, 20263 min read


El Factor Que Más Impacta Tu Tasa de Interés y Cómo Mejorar lo Antes Posible

Tu score de crédito es uno de los factores más importantes al momento de calificar para un préstamo hipotecario y puede afectar directamente la tasa de interés que te ofrecen. La diferencia entre un score de 640 y uno de 740 puede representar miles de dólares a lo largo de la vida del préstamo. La buena noticia es que mejorar tu crédito no requiere magia. Solo requiere algunos pasos concretos y algo de consistencia con el tiempo.

Revisa Tu Reporte de Crédito Primero

Antes de hacer cualquier cambio pide tu reporte de crédito y revísalo línea por línea. Los errores son más comunes de lo que la mayoría de la gente piensa. Cuentas que no son tuyas. Pagos marcados como atrasados cuando sí se hicieron a tiempo. Información desactualizada que ya debería haber sido eliminada. Corregir estos errores puede subir tu score relativamente rápido sin que tengas que cambiar ningún comportamiento financiero.

Paga Tus Balances de Tarjetas de Crédito

Uno de los factores con más peso en tu score es tu utilización de crédito. Eso significa cuánto debes comparado con tu límite disponible en cada tarjeta y en total. Bajar tus balances aunque sea antes de que llegue el estado de cuenta puede tener un impacto notable en tu score en pocos meses. Lo ideal es mantenerte por debajo del 30 por ciento de tu límite disponible y mejor aún por debajo del 10 por ciento si puedes.

No Cierres Cuentas Antiguas

Es tentador cerrar una tarjeta que ya no usas pero cerrar cuentas antiguas puede reducir tu historial de crédito promedio y afectar negativamente tu score. El tiempo que llevas con tus cuentas abiertas es un factor que los modelos de crédito valoran. Mejor guarda esa tarjeta abierta aunque sea sin usarla activamente. Está trabajando a tu favor simplemente por existir.

Evita Abrir Cuentas Nuevas Antes de Comprar

Cada solicitud de crédito nuevo genera lo que se llama una consulta dura en tu reporte y puede bajar tu score temporalmente. Si estás pensando en comprar casa en los próximos meses evita abrir tarjetas nuevas o solicitar préstamos durante ese periodo. Cada consulta innecesaria es un punto que podrías haber conservado.

Paga a Tiempo Sin Excepciones

El historial de pagos es el factor con mayor peso en tu score de crédito representando aproximadamente el 35 por ciento de tu puntuación total. Un solo pago atrasado puede afectar tu score de manera significativa y ese impacto puede durar meses. Configura recordatorios o pagos automáticos para asegurarte de nunca atrasarte ni siquiera unos días en tus pagos mensuales.

Ten Paciencia: El Crédito Mejora Con Consistencia

No existe un truco para subir tu score de la noche a la mañana y cualquier servicio que te prometa eso probablemente no es lo que parece. Lo que sí funciona es la consistencia. Pagos a tiempo mes tras mes. Balances bajos. Sin nuevas consultas innecesarias. Siguiendo estos pasos durante tres a seis meses la mayoría de las personas ven mejoras reales y medibles en su score.

El Siguiente Paso

Si no estás seguro de en qué nivel está tu crédito ahora mismo o qué tan cerca estás de calificar para el préstamo que quieres no tienes que averiguarlo solo. Andrea Kling puede revisar tu situación contigo y armar un plan concreto para los próximos meses sin ningún compromiso de tu parte.
