Lender Q & A with Sandra Scott of HomeTrust Mortgage Q. I am thinking about buying a house. How much money do I need down? A. There are several different loan programs available with different down payments. The program with the least amount of money down is called FHA and the minimum down payment is 3.5%. Elizabeth Q. I am a college student and I don't have a job right now but my parents can co sign for me. Is this an option? A. Yes, as long as you have a 620 or higher credit score we can use the co-signer's income to qualify for the loan. This is a lot better than paying rent because of the tax incentives and Homestead laws.
Q. My rate is above a 620. Do I need to check into refinancing? A. Yes rates are in-between 4.5% and 5%. Call me and we can discuss that.
If you have questions about mortgages please give me a call 806-790-4759. ~Sandra Scott Hometrust Mortgage Co

Happy Mother’s Day & Have a safe & Fun:
Memorial Day!! Clothes Closet Lighting from Jack Robnett People don’t often think about the fire risks posed by the light in their clothes closet, but it’s one of the few places in the house where a source of high heat can get too close to flammable materials. Lighting must be installed safely with adequate separation from clothes, boxes and other flammables stored in the closet. Additionally, the quality of the light, as well as bulb efficiency, will influence your lighting choices. In summary, homeowners should replace lighting in their clothes closets if the light has the potential to ignite flammable materials in the closet.
