This photo is the pile of mile we received when we refinanced our house a couple years ago!
Once you close on your new home or refinance, you will start getting a lot of junk mail and postcards. There are lots of scammer companies who get publicly available information on new deed filings. They will try to sell you on filing your homestead exemption or getting a copy of your deed for a fee. It is not necessary to pay for any of this. Even though all this junk mail will have the name of your mortgage company and your loan amount at the top, check the disclaimer in small print at the bottom: It will state that they are not affiliated with your mortgage company. When in doubt, call your lender. I often have my clients text me photos just to verify they can toss it in the bin.

3% is the minimum down payment required on a conventional loan if you are either a first-time buyer or if you haven’t owned a home in the previous three years. FHA loans require 3.5% down and VA loans are very often 0% down!
The takeaway here is that 20% down is NOT required. #downpayment #thornhomeloans #financeinfo #homeloans #mortgage

Attn: Self-employed business owners! Mortgage lenders calculate your income based on the amount you report on your Schedule C as your "net profit or loss." At UHM, our income desk will review your tax returns for the most recent two years. They will also look at your year-to-date profit & loss statement to verify your business is on track to equal or better the profit from the previous year. Your best bet is to work with a lender that will pre-underwrite your self-employed income. This way you have certainty with your preapproval letter and can avoid surprises after you are under contract. #homebuyers #texaslender #selfemployed #schedulecincome
Don't let being a recent grad stop you from applying for a home loan! We can actually use your school transcripts in place of work history although your degree or certificate program should be in a field related to what you are doing.

We could use a cost reduction somewhere so it's great news that HUD is reducing mortgage insurance on FHA loans by 30 basis points. On a $400,000 home, this is a cost reduction of $97/month!

Do you have to have perfect credit, a huge savings account or a long history at your current job? No, you absolutely do not. But any or all of the above will make things a bit easier when trying to get preapproved for your home loan.

Escrow deposit accounts are like “forced savings accounts” because we take a portion of your monthly mortgage payment and set it aside to pay your tax and insurance bills when they come due each year. Escrow accounts are required on all loans unless you are putting 20% or more down on a conventional mortgage.
