Real Estate Tips And Advice

©ADOBE STOCK

Getting the Best Mortgage Shopping around makes sense when deciding on a lender.

There are obvious benefits when home buyers take advantage of a well-established relationship with a bank or broker. They’ll have ready knowledge of your financial history, and familiarity with you as a client.

But as with buying the home itself, it might be in your best interest to shop around. Competition among banks, including the institution you’re already using, can work in your favor financially.

COMPARE AND CONTRAST Lenders are required to give you a loan estimate within three days of your application. That’s meant to give you a baseline before the process becomes more document intensive. Once these estimates are in hand, you can begin to compare and contrast the offers.

There’s a lot to digest in these complicated financial agreements, including rates, terms and rules. So give yourself plenty of time to look everything over before coming to a

decision. You could save hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR Always begin by examining the interest rate, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. (If you have an adjustablerate mortgage, focus on the highest possible rate.) Examine your total costs, including the principal, interest, monthly mortgage- insurance payments, escrowed property taxes, any HOA dues and homeowners insurance.

There are often hidden details in places like lender credits, too. The estimate should include a five-year analysis of cost, since on average people pay a mortgage for about that long before refinancing or selling the property. Pay close attention to how much of the principal you will have paid down by then. Compare the annual percentage rates, which include interest and fees.

RELATIONSHIP PRICING Lenders will sometimes provide their customers with something dubbed “relationship pricing.” They

may offer discounted rates to those with long-standing or multiple accounts, such as savings and checking, credit cards or other loans, and money-market accounts.

You may save as much as half a percentage point through these discounts, a figure that doesn’t sound like much but actually translates into a lot of money over the life of your loan.

Start by discussing relationship pricing with your current bank, and then compare the estimate with others available elsewhere.

REAL ESTATE 101 Facts About Freddie and Fannie Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are government-sponsored privately owned operations whose goal is to expand mortgage availability. They do this by purchasing mortgages, then selling them in groups to private investors on the open market as a mortgage-backed security. ©2022 Greenshoot Media

How to Save On Home Insurance # ( -& / $. ‫ **ޕ‬2$/# +*'$ 4 *+/$*).Ѷ .* * 4*0- #*( 2*-&ѵ

With so many different plans, you might find it hard to get started. But finding the right home insurance plan at the right price can provide peace of mind without breaking the bank.

SMART SHOPPING Larger organizations like the National Association of Insurance Commissioners can be of help in your initial search. They have a database of complaints, which can provide an early roadmap. But word of mouth referrals are still the lifeblood of the insurance industry, so begin with your immediate circle of friends.

Which company do they trust?

Which agent? Your neighbors will also have the best idea on the kind and amount of insurance needed in your particular area. Once you’ve discussed it with them, dig into local online reviews for companies and their area reps.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS Online insurance quote services are helpful, as are company websites and consumer guides. You should be able to get an initial range of prices right away. That will give you a general idea of who is offering the lowest prices and most coverage, now that you’ve figured out who has the best local customer satisfaction. Every budget is different, so find the plan that fits yours.

AGENCY DISCOUNTS Ask about a group purchase, where you bundle a home-insurance policy with auto and liability plans to earn an agency discount. Compare these bundled plans before you decide.

Some insurers will also offer premium reductions for improvements that bolster safety, like a home-security system.

Members of the military and seniors are often offered various discounts, as well. Take advantage of as many of these cost-saving measures as you can.

COMPARE DEDUCTIBLES Remember: In the end, it’s not all about upfront costs. Your deductible

can play a huge role in how helpful a home-insurance policy really is. This is the costs you are responsible for in the event of a loss.

You can save lots of cash on a premium by setting higher deductibles.

That can lower the monthly costs you’ll carry along the way – but it can also leave you on the hook for a lot of expenses since you’ll have to pay a higher amount before being cleared to make a claim.

Real Estate Tips And Advice

Certifications And Permits Be wary of purchasing any property that’s had an add on.

Depending on where you live, you can be held liable for a remodeling project that predates ownership if the work was completed without the necessary certificates and permits.

You may be asked to tear down the work, or be required to retrofit their work. There may also be fines involved.

WHAT THEY ARE Local governments approve permits in advance for jobs that are designed to meet certain standards.

The permit is closed out after work is completed, within a set period of time.

A certificate of occupancy certifies a completed space is in compliance with all applicable codes.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR To avoid a very costly lesson, look for key warning signs that an addition or remodel may have been done off the books. Be cautious when you see odd configurations, or obviously shoddy

work. Even a strange placement of an out building on your property might be a warning sign.

None of this necessarily means that they were completed without permits, certificates of occupancy or inspections – but you don’t want to find out later.

Ask your real estate professional to investigate on your behalf, and obtain copies of the proper documentation.

The agent can also compare tax bills for comparable homes in the area. If the home you’re considering is much larger but doesn’t show a corresponding increase in the owner’s tax burden, that’s a sign that the work wasn’t permitted.

FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF The best defense in this situation is a good offense: Familiarize yourself with the local rules on home projects and permits. It’s the best way to protect yourself as a buyer and future homeowner. Most projects of any size require this official documentation. But every city, and sometimes every neighborhood, has its own set of rules.

Municipal websites will often

include needed information, but you may have to call them directly.

Permitting made be based on the job itself (adding a new room, siding certain ventilation system changes or a water heater), or it could be tied to the total cost of the job.

If you’re contemplating your own work, or are about to buy a home that clearly has had work valued at more than about $5,000 done, you may not be in compliance.
