SIMPLIF Y ING THE PROCESS

WA N T A N D W R I T E I T D OW N What to do before you start shopping for a home!

T H E T H I N G S YO U WA N T I N A H O U S E Trim your list of “must-haves” to the top five that you want in your ideal home (e.g. must have a garage, a big open kitchen, fenced yard, hardwood floors and be near a lightrail stop). We will use your five must-haves as our guide; we won’t consider homes without them. (If we find these must-haves are too specific, we can adjust them as needed).

T H E PL AC E S YO U WA N T TO L I V E (e.g. Kirkland or within 10 mile radius of Sea-Tac Airport)

T H E B U D G E T YO U ’ V E S E T (e.g $2000/mo but willing to go up to max of $2300 for perfect house). Tip: Your max number is oftentimes the difference-maker in winning or losing a bidding war. For every $10,000 in purchase price, the monthly mortgage payment goes up by $40. So if you say you want to max out at $350k, yet when push comes to shove you could come up with an extra $40 per month, then we advise starting out with that $40 included in your max. Your new max would be $360k.

PRELIMINARY FINANCING CONCERNS

How much home can you buy? The next four steps discussed will help you review home financing and get you prepared to speak in detail with a lender. A more thorough overview of the financing process is covered later in this guide. Most homebuyers find that they need to finance at least part of their home purchase. Therefore, the first stage in finding the right home is to review your personal financial situation and make an informed estimate of your true purchasing power.

YOUR PURCHASING POWER WILL DEPEND ON: INCOME, CREDIT RATING, DOWN PAY MENT, AVAIL ABLE INTEREST RATES, AND OTHER MONTHLY E X PENSES. 22

A higher interest rate translates into a higher monthly mortgage payment, and so your credit score will directly affect how much money you can borrow and which homes you should be considering.

Remember that there are several factors that affect your credit report, including your payment history, your current ratio of debt to income, and signs of responsibility and stability. And since not all creditors report to all three agencies, it’s best to order a report from all three institutions.

You should be aware of what information is on your credit report by obtaining and receiving copies of your credit report from the three main credit report agencies.

Your goal in ordering all three credit reports is to make sure that all of the information stated on each report is accurate and correct. If there are any discrepancies on your credit report, it’s important that you

Again, the seller wants certainty their home will close and for top dollar, so an inspection contingency is one of the biggest risks when a seller has multiple offers to choose from.

MAKING THE OFFER C L O S I N G D AT E 30 days is standard from the date you make offer. Competitive situations require an edge here as well, so we may shorten it to as little as 2 weeks if lender can make it happen. 3 weeks is the norm right now for mortgage brokers.

D O W N PAY M E N T How much should you put down? You should discuss this with your lender. 0%, 3%, 5%, 10%, 20% or more are all possible.

C L O S I N G C O S T S PA I D BY SELLER EARNEST MONEY This is your “good faith� money saying you are a serious buyer. We typically calculate it as 2% of purchase price, but in competitive situations, more is better (3-5%). If the offer gets accepted, you as the buyer have 2 days to deposit your earnest money into an escrow account via check or wire from your bank. This money goes toward your closing costs or down payment when the deal closes. If the deal falls out of contract because of inspection, financing, or appraisal issues, then you get

If a home has been on market for 2+ weeks, then we should ask the seller to pay for your closing costs. Closing costs are in addition to your down payment which you would otherwise be responsible for. Typically, closing costs are between 2-3% of your purchase price but your lender can give you a more accurate number for us to ask for. It is interesting to note that local mortgage brokers have relatively low closing costs while big banks and national mortgage companies charge huge amounts in their closing costs.

3 LE VELS OF APPROVAL GOOD When you are prequalified, that means you are able to make a decision to move forward with your home loan application. You and your lender will talk about your finances to help identify loan options and estimate your down payment and monthly payments.

BETTER When you are preapproved, actual documentation is sent to processing, which allows your lender to provide you with a max loan amount. With this, you can confidently start shopping for your home!

BEST When the documentation that you sent for your preapproval is validated and sent to underwriting, then you are on track to receive credit approval. With this approval, you’re able to get started on a contract for your new home! Your lender will take it from there.

ACCEPTABLE SOURCES OF FUNDS TO CLOSE

F U N D T Y PES EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT Earnest money is a deposit made to a seller showing the buyer’s good faith in a transaction. With earnest money, we need a copy of the check and proof that it cleared your account. Earnest money must be taken from an account that we have verified via bank statements.

C H E C K I N G /S AV I N G S / M O N E Y M A R K E T/ I N V E S T M E N T A C C O U N T S We’ll ask you for a bank statement with all pages covering a 30–60-day time period. If there’s a joint person on the account, we’ll need a letter that our borrower has access to all of the money in the account. If there are deposits on the statement that are anything but payroll deposits, we may need to “source” those deposits, which means we’ll need to know where the money came from. We’ll likely need copies of any nonpayroll check(s).

CO-MINGLING OF BUSINESS AND PERSONAL ACCOUNTS Please talk to us about this. If you know you need money from a business account, transfer it before you write an offer and let it sit in your personal account for at least 60 days. This “seasons” the money, making it your own. 42
