Fayetteville TN Home Loan Pre-qualification and Pre-approval

 If you are considering buying a home in Fayetteville Tennessee, more than likely, you will need to obtain a mortgage to pay that home. The advantage of getting pre-qualified and pre-approved for a loan before you start house hunting is that you will know in advance exactly how much house you can afford.

Fayetteville TN Real Estate Loan Pre-qualification

Pre-qualified is the first step in the mortgage process.  It is an assessment by the lender, based on the borrower’s overall financial picture, including income, asset information and current monthly debt and credit worthiness.  After evaluating this information, the lender makes a tentative decision to pre-qualify for a certain mortgage amount.

Because pre-qualification is a fairly quick and simple procedure, based solely on the information provided by the borrower, the amount is not necessarily fixed in stone. Rather, it is the amount a borrower might expect if approved for a mortgage and can an actually get pre-qualified online or over the phone  at no cost.  At this point in the loan process, a lender can explain the various mortgage options and recommend a loan type that is the best fit  to the borrower’s situation.

Note: Pre-qualification is a nonbinding opinion of the lender and does not commit the lender to a loan.

Fayetteville Real Estate Loan Pre-approval

The next step in buying a home in Fayetteville Tennessee and obtaining a mortgage is getting a loan pre-approval, which is more involved than pre-qualification. Pre-approval takes longer to process and requires more comprehensive documentation from the borrower. It is also a more definitive guarantee of the loan amount a borrower is entitled to.  At this stage, the borrower will complete an official mortgage application and supply the lender with the required documentation to perform a comprehensive financial background check and current credit rating.  

Your lender should tell you exactly what you need, but be prepared to include:

  • W2 statements (or 1099 income statements) for the last two years
  • Federal tax returns for the last two years
  • Bank statements for the last few months
  • Recent pay stubs and proof of other income
  • Proof of investment income

The borrower then receives a conditional commitment in writing for an exact loan amount, which allows them to look at Fayetteville Tennessee homes for sale at or below that price level.  We have mortgage specialists that we work very closely with and highly recommend, who can assist you with your Fayetteville TN home loan financing

Buying a Fayetteville TN Home and Obtaining a Mortgage

Home-loanBuying a home in Fayetteville Tennessee home can be quite overwhelming and a complicated process unless you break it down into manageable steps that are easier to understand.

If you are like most buyers, the first step of the home buying process will be to obtain a Fayetteville TN home loan. And the first thing you will need to do is decide what type of home loan is best for you and how much house you can actually afford.

We recommended that you shop around for the best Fayetteville TN mortgage deal and learn how to negotiate with various lenders and brokers. You will also want to get familiar with home loan terminology, what’s involved in the mortgage process and finalizing the deal. 

Before you even begin shopping for a Fayetteville real estate property, get a loan pre-approval, which means that  your lender has reviewed and verified your income, credit and assets to ensure that you can make the necessary monthly payments on a house.

Your lender should tell you exactly what you need, but be prepared to include:

  • W2 statements (or 1099 income statements) for the last two years
  • Federal tax returns for the last two years
  • Bank statements for the last few months
  • Recent pay stubs and proof of other income
  • Proof of investment income

Here are some home loan terms that you will  want to become familiar with:

  • Credit report - Request your lender to order one from a third party credit agency such as Equifax, Experian or Trans Union. A credit report should contain information on all your outstanding loans and repayment history, and will typically cost under fifty dollars.
  • Application/processing fee – Lender’s fee for determining your capacity as a borrower and will usually be charged upon closing of the loan. Expect a price tag of a couple of hundred dollars.
  • Annual percentage rate (APR) – APR is the sum total of all your borrowing costs as a interest rate percentage charged on the loan balance.
  • Indexes - Changes in indexes,  such as the Federal Funds Rate and the Treasury Bill, used to periodically readjust the interest rates in adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs).
  • Points - When mortgage companies are competing by offering lower interest rates, they may charge you a “point”, a one-time pre-paid interest fee, calculated as a percentage of the loan. Points are considered part of the cost of credit to the borrower, and part of the investment return to the lender. They may range from 0.25% to 2% of the loan balance, and are usually paid up front. One point equals 1%.
  • Appraisal cost – Fee charged by an independent appraiser who may be hired by your lender to evaluate the property’s purchase price, condition and size in relation to similar recent neighborhood sales. This information is necessary to the lender because it ensures repayment in case the borrower defaults, forcing the lender to sell the property.
  • Pre-payment penalties – Prepayment penalty is a provision of your contract with the lender that states that in the event you pay off the loan early, you will pay a penalty. Penalties are usually expressed as a percent of the outstanding balance at time of prepayment, or a specified number of months of interest.
  • Miscellaneous fees - Miscellaneous costs that may be incurred during the processing of your loan request, such as notary, courier, county recording fees and title company escrow fee,etc.

selling your huntsville alabama home, huntsville alabama home selling tipsIt’s no secret that when it comes to selling your Huntsville Alabama home, it can be a bit more challenging today than it has been before due to the Huntsville Alabama real estate market.  For that reason, you’ll want to do everything possible to make your home shine and stand out from the crowd.  A welcoming exterior will go a long way to help your home sell quicker and for the best price.

Buyers will Size Up Your Huntsville Alabama Home for Sale in a Wink of An Eye 

Curb appeal is all about making the outside of your Huntsville Alabama property for sale more attractive and enticing to buyers so they will want to come inside and check out the rest. Think about it. There are no second chances when it comes to making a first impression.
 
Potential buyers will size up your home’s exterior in a wink of an eye for the good or for the bad. Your home’s exterior immediately puts a perception of the value in buyers’ minds and makes all the difference between wanting to take a closer look or driving on to the next Huntsville Alabama property for sale that sparkles more than yours. It won’t matter how spectacular the interior of your home is if you can’t get anyone through the front door to check it out.
 
If you want to amp up the curb appeal of your Huntsville Alabama property for sale, don’t just think cutting the grass. Curb appeal applies to the front yard, the actual exterior of the home itself and any side or rear outdoor areas that can be seen when walking or driving by from different angles.

Improving the Curb Appeal of Your Huntsville Alabama Home for Sale

  • Start with a good clean up, remove debris and any unattractive items.
  • Next, make any needed exterior repairs so that your home looks well cared for such as replacing burnt out light bulbs, touching up with paint, replacing broken screens and pressure washing your home’s exterior and grounds if needed.
  • A bit of simple landscaping maintenance can go a long way to enhance your curb appeal such as trimming trees, pruning back bushes or edging and cutting your lawn. Add some new mulch, plants or pots of colorful flowers for a dash of color.
  • You may want to consider repainting the front door and or adding new door fixtures. A new kick plate, decorative door handles and address numbers can make your home appear new for a shiny first impression.
  • Investing in a new mailbox can also increase the perceived value of your home.
  • Last but not least, consider adding outdoor ambient lighting or some new outdoor furniture. Remember, you can always take it with you when your house sells.

The bottom line is that better curb appeal can make your Huntsville Alabama property for sale shine as the most attractive property on the market, which is exactly the edge you need when selling your Huntsville Alabama home.

Huntsville Alabama Home Loan Approval – Your Credit Report

Hunstville Alabama Home Loan Approval, Buying a Home in Huntsville AlabamaIf you are considering buying a home in Huntsville Alabama, more than likely, you will need a home loan to pay for that home. And since you will be asking for a great deal of money and embarking on the probably one of the largest financial investments you will make in your lifetime, you should be aware of any factors that might affect your Huntsville Alabama home loan approval.  

Your Huntsville Alabama Credit Report

Your credit report is one of the most important factors to consider when seeking a mortgage so it’s a good idea to obtain a copy of your credit report from each of the three main credit bureausincluding: TransUnion , Experian  and Equifax.

Your FICO score, developed by Fair Isaac & Company, is widely accepted by lenders that determines eligibility as well as specific amounts, rates and terms that can be offered for a Huntsville Alabama home loan approval.  A FICO Score considers both positive and negative information in your credit report. Late payments will lower your FICO Score, but establishing or re-establishing a good track record of making payments on time will raise your score.

How a FICO Score Breaks Down

Buying a home in Huntsville AL, Huntsville AL real estate

FICO scores range from 300-850.  The higher your FICO score, the less risk involved in lending to you and there are approximately 30 factors that influence your credit rating. Some of these factors, such as your payment history, weigh more heavily on eligibility than others. 

Every factor’s importance varies from person to person and can change individually as your credit history lengthens.  Your credit score can also change daily as new credit is established or credit is paid down/off.

In most cases, each of the 3 main credit bureaus will have different information on file, so make sure there are no discrepancies or errors that could be detrimental.  It is estimated that 40% of credit reports do contain errors, and if you are one of those people, your Huntsville Alabama home loan approval could be in jeopardy through no fault of your own.  

Our Huntsville Alabama real estate industry experience and attention to detail on closing homes in this market gives you the tools to make your transaction smooth and successful.  We look forward to demonstrating our results to you!

PITI – The Four Parts that Make up a Fayetteville TN Mortgage

 buying a home in Fayetteville tn, fayetteville tn real estateIf you are thinking about buying a home in Fayetteville Tennessee, chances are that you are going to need a mortgage to pay for that home. 

It is important that you know what “PITI” means in order to estimate a house payment you can actually afford and make a fully informed home buying decision.

Search Fayetteville TN Homes for Sale

PITI is an acronym for the 4 parts that typically make up a mortgage payment – Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance.  Otherwise known as the monthly “bottom line”  or combined payment of a mortgage.   

PITI is typically quoted on a monthly basis and compared to a borrower’s monthly gross income by computing the individual’s debt-to-income ratios - the percentage of your monthly gross income (before taxes) that is used to pay your monthly debts.  

Lending institutions want to make sure that you can pay your insurance and property taxes, thus, they build those payments into your monthly mortgage payment to secure the loan.  

  • Principal – The part of your monthly payment that reduces the outstanding balance of your mortgage.
  • Interest – The part of your monthly payment that goes toward the cost of borrowing the money.
  • Taxes – The part of your monthly payment that goes toward property taxes charged by your local government. We typically collect a portion of these taxes in every mortgage payment and hold the funds in an escrow account for tax payments made on your behalf as they become due.
  • Insurance – The part of your monthly payment that pays for homeowners or hazard insurance, which provides protection against property damage due to wind, fire or other risks. Insurance costs are usually collected and paid form and escrow account.

A common guideline for debt-to-income ratios is 33/38. A borrower’s housing costs consume 33% of their monthly income. Add monthly consumer debt and it should take no more than 38%  of their monthly income to meet those obligations.

You can use this free Mortgage PITI Calculator to calculate and total the monthly principal, interest, tax, insurance, and private mortgage insurance payments that normally come attached to a mortgage.
