A lot of money changes hands when you’re buying and selling a house. Closing costs, the fees you’ll have to pay for services, and expenses required to finalize a mortgage, should be taken into consideration before you begin the buying process. Nerdwallet reports the average closing costs for the buyer run between about 2% and 5% of the loan amount. For instance, on a $300,000 home purchase, you can expect to pay from $6,000 to $15,000 in closing costs. Paying cash out of pocket is the most cost-effective way to handle closing costs. Rolling the cost into your loan, if your lender offers that option, means you’ll be paying interest on that amount for the entire life of your mortgage. The good news is you can usually reduce some closing costs expenses by comparison shopping and negotiating lender fees. “Closing costs are technically first itemized in the three-page Loan Estimate form that your lender must produce within three business days after you apply for a mortgage. It’s a little-known fact, but some lenders will give you a Loan Estimate form even before you apply for a loan, although it’s not required,” says Erik Martin, president of Total Mortgage, Milford, CT. “That form lets you comparison shop between companies’ total costs and dig into specific fees once you’ve chosen a lender. You’ll need the legally binding Loan Estimate to compare costs, not the “closing costs worksheet” or a “fee itemization” that some lenders offer,” he advises. While many costs associated with buying a home are fixed, practically all closing costs are negotiable. Ask questions, research, and compare fees and services. It’s always worth an ask.

3 Ways Credit
Plays Into Mortgage
newsShorts Good credit isn’t the only thing you need to qualify. When you’re looking to refinance, having an excellent credit score can be beneficial. However, your score doesn’t automatically make you eligible. Lenders will look at a number of other things before they approve refinancing, such as:
Refinancing
•Debt-to-income ratio (DTI): The amount of
If you’re thinking about refinancing your mortgage, there’s often a lot to consider. For instance, your decision to refinance may rely on current interest rates or your personal financial situation.
•Loan-to-value ratio (LTV): Allows lenders to
Your credit score also plays a role in the mortgage refinancing process. While it can certainly factor into your ability to refinance, the relationship between your mortgage and your credit score can be complicated. However, it doesn’t need to be. Credit requirements can vary depending on the terms of your loan. But at the same time, many programs share similar traits.
The score you need can depend on the type of loan you have. According to NerdWallet, if you’re refinancing a VA or conventional loan, you’ll typically need a score between 620 and 720 to qualify. And if you have an FHA loan, you need a score between at least 500 and 580 to qualify. Fortunately, lenders are willing to work through different options if your credit score recently dropped below the requirements. For instance, there are different streamline financing options for VA loans, FHA loans and USDA loans that don’t require credit checks or score benchmarks. A lot of people also choose to get home loans through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two of the largest home loan lenders in the country. Both typically require a minimum credit score of 620 to get approved.
debt you have compared to how much money you make.
assess the lending risk before approving a mortgage or a mortgage refinance. Loans that have a higher LTV are typically considered to be a higher risk. If your lender says you have a high LTV ratio, that doesn’t automatically disqualify you. There are government-sponsored programs from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that are available for borrowers who have LTV ratios that are 97.01% or higher. Refinancing can drop your score temporarily. Like any changes to your installment accounts, refinancing your mortgage can lower your score. You don’t need to worry about this as much if your credit is already in good standing. There are a couple of reasons why your score may drop. One is that lenders take what’s called a “hard inquiry,” or a detailed look, at your credit score. Such hard inquiries can cause your score to drop by a few points. The second is that the fact of refinancing itself can reduce your credit score. The third is a possible increase in your utilization ratio, which is calculated by comparing the amount you owe versus your total credit limit. Start the refinancing process on the right foot. There’s a lot involved in the refinancing process. But when you know where your credit score is at before you begin, it can help you create a better plan for action. With VantageScore’s latest scoring model, you can get an accurate and detailed picture of your credit scores so you can make the best refinancing decision for you. (BPT)
It’s Prime Season To
Inspect
Your Roof
Fall is the ideal time to make sure your roof is in good shape to withstand the ice, snow and wind of Old Man Winter. “You don’t need to be a roofing expert to do the basic checks on your roof,” says roofing contractor NH Adam Vaillancourt. “In the attic, you should look for signs of sagging in the roof deck under the shingles. Also look for signs of water damage or leaking such as dark spots or trails where water has travelled.” Another sure sign that your roof needs work is seeing light coming in anywhere from the roof into the attic. On the outside of the house Vaillancourt says to start your inspection by looking for cracked, curling, split, or missing shingles. If you need to, use binoculars to get a good look at the shingles from down on the ground. Binoculars are also good for looking at chimney flashing, and flashing around vents, pipes and other areas. You can also assess shingle wear by looking for shingle granules (they look like large pieces of sand) at the drain spouts or on the ground where water spills off the roof. A lot of these granules are a sure sign of roof wear. Finally, if your house has gutters, make sure they are clean and operate well before winter hits. It’s the best way to get that water off the roof and away from the basement when rough weather hits. For more information visit www.adamvroofing.com.

For Your
Protection Get a Home
Inspection
A home inspection gives the buyer more detailed information about the overall condition of the home prior to purchase. In a home inspection, a qualified inspector takes an in-depth, unbiased look at your potential new home to evaluate the physical condition: structure, construction, and mechanical systems; identify items that need to be repaired or replaced; and estimate the remaining useful life of the major systems, equipment, structure, and finishes. You must ask for a home inspection. A home inspection will only occur if you arrange for one. Decide early. You may be able to make your contract contingent on the results of the inspection. Ask a qualified home inspector to inspect your potential new home and give you the information you need to make a wise decision.
newsShorts have recommended that all houses should be tested for radon. For more information on radon testing, call the toll-free National Radon Information Line at 1-800-SOS-Radon or 1-800-767-7236. It is your responsibility to be an informed buyer. You have the right to carefully examine your potential new home with a qualified home inspector. To find a qualified home inspector ask for references from friends, realtors, local licensing authorities and organizations that qualify and test home inspectors. (hud.gov)
Colorful
Fall Landscape Ideas
Appraisals are different from home inspections. An appraisal does not replace a home inspection. Appraisals estimate the value of the property for lenders. An appraisal is required to ensure the property is marketable. Home inspections evaluate the condition of the home for buyers.
Well-maintained lawns support the well-being of neighborhoods and allow communities to connect, celebrate and unwind. Fall is one of the most critical seasons for preparing lawns and landscapes for year-round health and provides the ideal opportunity to refresh garden beds and container gardens.
The US Environmental Protection Agency and the Surgeon General of the United States
Before relying on the comfort of traditional mums, experts recommend consideration of
ornamental kales, cabbage and peppers, as well as snapdragons, pansies and grasses to add rich color and texture. Homeowners should also consider texture while interiorscaping, the art of purposefully planting indoor greenery. Succulents can add life to a garden bed or apartment terrace during the warmer months and add a trendy, textured green vibe during the fall and winter months. Classic fall colors like red, yellow and orange will seek competition from crisp and sophisticated jewel tones this season. Sapphire blue, emerald green, amethyst purple, ruby red and citrine yellow all bring warmth to fall landscape design. Experts recommend adding pops of jewel tones to outdoor living spaces with unique container gardens, decorative furnishings and accessories, eye-catching sculptures and seasonal plantings such as pansies, celosia, dianthus and black-eyed Susan. After enjoying sweet summertime, fall allows homeowners to transition their landscapes and utilize features that are not always top-ofmind during warmer months. Fire features continue to rise in popularity. From one-touch natural gas or propane ignition to traditional wood-burning fire features, homeowners can heat up chilly fall nights with ease and ambience. Pergolas have gained popularity and we will see their lifespan continue in the cooler month with the help of retractable canopies and heating systems. Signature features, like fire features and pergolas, complimented by comfortable seating and attractive and aromatic plantings and jewel tones can help bring resort like comfort to homes across the country.
