Mortgage Rates UP…

Don’t know if you have been keeping up with the news the last few weeks, but mortgage rates are up.
They are at their highest levels in three and a half years.
If you have a mortgage in process, and it’s not locked you need to have your loan officer lock it.
There is a CPI due out Wednesday that could affect the bond market, which could in turn move rates.
I’ll let ya know…
That’s it for today!
Have a good day! …and thanks for reading.

New Cash Out Loan…

If you want a cash out loan on your home you will need a minimum of a 620 credit score.
This is because a cash out loan is a Conventional loan, and the guideline is a minimum 620 credit score.
…At least that’s what you’ll hear form most loan officers.
I wanted to alert you to a product we just added. …Cash out loans down to 580. This is a non conforming product, and the rates will be higher, but you can get cash out down to 580.
That’s it for today!
Have a good day today! …and thanks for reading.

We Have To Know Where This Is Coming From…

One of the most important things you will have to do when you apply for a loan is to show that you have the money for the down payment.
This is called sourcing in the mortgage industry.
You can have your down payment funds in your checking account or savings account now. You can borrow it from your retirement account. …You can even get the down payment as a gift.
…but, it’s crucial that we are able to show where it’s coming from.
I can tell you that cash is a problem when it comes to sourcing your down payment. You will need to put it in the bank and leave it for 60 days before we can use it.
If you aren’t sure where your down payment is coming from – find out now. …before you apply for a loan.
That’s it for today!
Have a good day! …and thanks for reading.
