Speaking with Mortgage Consultants a Critical Step for Homebuyers to Understand What They Can Afford

All too often the process of purchasing a home includes unpleasant surprises that can quickly deflate the anticipation felt by a homebuyer. While many homebuyers believe these events to be “surprises” the reality is many of them could be avoided if the homebuyer takes a few precautionary steps while searching for their home.

The first step that every homebuyer should take is securing a prequalification letter from a lender, something that will show your agent how much you can afford to spend on a house and strengthen your position when the time comes to make a purchase offer on a home.

Determining how much you can spend on your dream home depends heavily on the mortgage interest rate you secure when getting a home loan. Just a fraction of a percentage difference between lenders can be the determining factor in what homes are affordable and what homes are not.

This is why it is so important for a homebuyer to find the right lender, someone who understands that a low interest mortgage rate could actually make a dream home a reality. At Bank of Internet USA that reality is never lost on their team of mortgage consultants. It’s not simply about getting a homebuyer a home loan but ensuring they get the best home loan, one with a low interest mortgage rate that won’t come with any “surprises” down the road.
