Bradenton Loan Checklist

For many Bradenton home buyers, applying for the mortgage loan is one of the more stressful aspects of buying a home. The loan application need not be a stressful time. By following a few easy steps, you'll sail through the home financing application process.

  1. Make a list of any questions you have about the loan program.
    Be sure to understand the pros and cons of the various mortgage programs for which you may qualify, including the advantages and disadvantages of Fixed Rate Mortgages(FRM) versus Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM).

  2. Decide if you want to lock-in or float the mortgage interest rate.
    Locking-in the rate means that the lender commits to the mortgage interest rate for the loan - typically at the time the loan application is submitted. By floating the rate, you can lock-in the interest rate anytime between the loan application day and closing. Buyers opt to "float the loan" when they believe interest rates will drop after their loan application date and prior to closing. The risk is that rather than dropping, interest rates may rise, increasing the mortgage payment.

  3. Decide if you want to pay additional pts to lower your interest rate.
    Typically you can elect to pay additional points (each point is 1 percent of the mortgage loan payable in cash at closing) to lower the interest rate of your mortgage loan.

  4. Gather your paperwork.
