When anyone selects real estate than some topic should be notice.
Value – Is this house a good value? Of course, most banks will require an appraisal to protect their interest in the. if he value of the home comes in at lower than the contract price, you may be able to renegotiate the sale price with the seller by proving that it is not worth what they are asking. If the value comes in higher, then you most likely got a good buy based on the value. When homes are sold without a appraisal clause, the buyer is accepting responsibility for the difference in appraised value and sales price. If you didn’t have the money, the underwriter may even turn you down for the loan.
Condition – Is this house in good condition? It is often quoted in the real estate industry. My recommendation is to always have a home inspection to make sure the home is sound and that there are no deficiencies. Another good recommendation is purchasing a Home Warranty, which will cover most appliances and major systems for the first year or your ownership.
Safety- many people focus on value and property condition that they forget to inquire about the neighborhood. If you already know the area, then it isn’t a problem, but more often than not prospective buyers end up looking in areas other than they originally desired, and this is often due to price factors. Here are a few ideas for checking out an area.
Personalized Borrowers Lender Checklist
- Is this purchase an owner-occupied or an investment property?
- What percentage do you want to put down?
- If you want to sell right away, can you avoid prepayment penalties?
- Do you need the loan to finance a fixer? How much of a fixer do you want to
- tackle?
- How flexible are the lender’s appraisers? Do you need a cooperative
- appraiser?
- Do you care about "garbage fees" and need costs to be added to the loan?
- Do you want to pay PMI, or a first and a second, or neither?
- Do you want the seller to contribute to your closing costs?
- How much do you want the seller to contribute?
- How many points do you agree to pay up front or add to the loan?
- Are super low payments available?
Make your own checklist according to your abilities and find the lender who comes closest to your needs. Remember, a good mortgage broker wants your business and works hard to find the right loan out of thousands to best suit your requirements. However, asking a lender for impossible demands wastes your time and theirs.
