SMARTER. BOLDER. FASTER.

This is a pre-screened marketing letter. You’re not technically pre-approved, if by “preapproved,” we mean there’s a check you can pick up in the morning. Get out a microscope and read the letter’s fine print. Invariably, it will say that the actual rate and terms are subject to “changing market conditions.”

Street reform are simply the old standards in use before the toxic loan era. Lenders are going to ask for paperwork, lots and lots of paperwork, and borrowers must provide documentation or they will not get financing. The purpose of requesting documentation is not to create additional aggravation. Instead, it’s to make the lending system less risky by making sure that loans are properly underwritten and likely to be repaid. That’s something everybody should want, especially when you consider such alternatives as short sales, foreclosures, less equity, fewer jobs and lower home values.

ANSWER:

By Peter G. Miller

VIE

I received a letter today saying I was preapproved for a new loan at 3.875 percent. While the rate is lower than what I’m now paying, how does the lender know I’m qualified for such financing?

Ask Our Broker

QUESTION:

Without a credit check and appraisal satisfactory to the lender, you won’t get the headline rate. Despite the claims of preapproval, you won’t get any loan if the lender decides you’re unqualified. Under Wall Street reform, lenders are required to assure that every qualifying residential mortgage goes only to borrowers who have the ability to repay their loans. This means the lender must assemble a file that verifies the borrower’s income and employment. I recently refinanced an investment property where there was a very low loan-to-value ratio, and no cash was to come from closing. This was a basic rate-and-term refinance, the kind of mortgage that should make lenders ecstatic. Even so, the lender required a sack of documents, and no one said I was preapproved. The new standards required under Wall

pre-screen or pre-approve

Common Household Problem Solutions Abnormal and fluctuating weather conditions have not only left our homes in need of small repairs, but according to the National Pest Management Association, the unseasonably warm weather has also caused the bug season to start earlier. Steven Kutcher, a Hollywood entomologist with more than 35 years of experience says that during warm weather season, more than 180,0001 bugs could pass through your yard and several could make it inside your home through openings you may not even notice. Wear and tear allows easy access for insects through openings such as windows, doors and cracks. The good news is if you are worried about an infestation there are a few tips that you can try before using a pesticide. To help keep unwanted bugs out of the home Kutcher suggests these simple tips: Know Your Bug If you have a pesky bug you cannot control, catch it and do your research. Put the bug in a glass container and further examine it while doing online research in order to find suggestions to keep them out of the house. Visit Bug University at www.RaidKillsBugs.com for pictures of common household pests.

ing homes of a variety of unwanted pests including ants. For example, Raid(r) Ant Gel allows homeowners to quickly and easily eliminate ants by applying the clear gel to problem areas. The ants then carry the gel back to share the bait with their colony, killing these pests. Tackle Your Do-It-Yourself Projects Bugs enter the home for food, water, protection from the weather and simply by accident. Be sure to tackle your outdoor and indoor DIY projects to repair any damage including weather stripping windows and doors and filling in any cracks in the wall or flooring. The more prepared your home is for peak bug season, the less likely insects and other pests can get in. Don’t Bring Bugs Home Shopping at a local flea market or garage sale is a fun way to spend summer days, but beware as bugs may be near. Be sure to check the purchases you make at each location for signs of insects including actual bugs. It’s easy to get an infestation if you bring unwanted bugs into your home.

Learning how to tackle common household problems can help you and your family save money and keep everyone happy and Prepare for Pests To help protect your home and family from bug infestation, healthy. And by ensuring you have the know-how and tools on prepare in advance by having pest products on hand.
