LOAN PROGRAM OPTIONSFixed Rate LoansWith a fixed rate loan, the interest rate and monthly paymentstays constant throughout the duration of the loan. They are themost secure type of loan, but also typically come with higherrates compared to other types of loans. Loan terms on fixedrates typically range from 10 to 40 years, with the most commonbeing a 30 year fixed. These can be a good choice for those whoprioritize predictability over paying less interest. Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM)On an adjustable rate mortgage, the rate is only fixed for acertain number of years (typically 3, 5, 7 or 10 years) and then canadjust based on market rates after the fixed period ends. Theytypically have lower interest rates compared to a fixed rate loan,but have some risk associated with not knowing where rates willbe once the fixed period ends. There are typically rate caps thatrestrict how much they can change once the adjustable periodbegins. We generally recommend this product for clients whoare unlikely to keep the loan or property beyond the fixed rateperiod. Interest-Only LoansYou are only required to pay interest each month on an interest-only loan, but you have the option to pay principal at yourdiscretion. These loans are typically a variation of adjustablerate mortgages, but occasionally there can be a fixed rateinterest-only. You should be cautious when choosing this typeof loan as the monthly payment can change dramatically whenthe interest-only period ends and you have to pay principal on ashortened amortization schedule. These loans are best forfinancially savvy applicants who receive lump sums of income(bonus, commission, etc.) who want to keep their requiredmonthly payment to an absolute minimum. There are many different options you can choose from for yourmortgage. We will work closely with you to determine which type ofloan fits your needs best.

coops vs. condosThere are a handful of noteworthy differences between coops andcondos that you should be aware of as you compare listings. OwnershipWhen you buy a coop, you are buying shares in a corporation ratherthan "real property". At closing you'll be given a stock certificate andproprietary lease where the corporation assigns your interests to theunit you are purchasing. With a condo purchase, you acquire title toa specific unit and are granted a deed to that specific property. Board ReviewCoop boards typically require you to meet stringent financial criteriaand to submit a board package with financial documents andreference letters. The coop board will invite pre-screened applicantsto interview with them before deciding if you are approved topurchase the unit. Condo boards are far less concerned aboutspecific financial criteria, but a board package is often still requiredso the condo can determine if they will take the extremely rareaction of executing their "right of first refusal". PriceBecause of the less stringent financial requirements and lessrestrictive rules, condos tend to sell for a meaningfully higher priceper square foot than coops will sell for. Therefore you can expect topay a premium for the flexibilities allowed in condos. Closing Costs While both property types are subject to the NYS Mansion Tax, theother closing costs can be vastly higher on a condo compared to acoop. That's because coops are not considered "real property" sothey are not subject to mortgage recording tax or the need for titleinsurance. Renting Your ApartmentCoops oftentimes require you to live in the unit for a certain numberof years before you can rent it and also mandate how many yearsyou can rent it for. Condos typically do not have these restrictions.

pitfalls to avoidWe will need to contact your employer (or CPA if you're self-employed) within 7-10 days of your scheduled closing to verify youremployment is still active. If you feel a job change might occurduring the loan process, please notify us right away so we can planaccordingly.By applying for new credit accounts you can make it more difficultto qualify for a mortgage by raising your debt-to-income ratio andincurring a new inquiry on your credit history which can reduceyour credit score. Underwriters will obtain a credit update shortlybefore closing to determine if any new credit inquiries or debtsneed to be accounted for, so please consult us before applying fornew credit accounts.It is possible that paying off debts or delinquent accounts mayactually bring your credit score down in the short-term. Pleasecheck with us before paying off any debts to ensure it won't causeany problems. The source of all funds transferred into your accounts will need tobe documented as part of the underwriting process. It could addextra steps and take more time to close if you move funds aroundshortly before or during the approval process.Closing dates are nearly impossible to predict before your loan iscleared for closing and schedules are coordinated betweenattorneys. To avoid frustrations and cancellation fees, werecommend that you not schedule movers, contractors, or givenotice to vacate your current residence before having a confirmedclosing date.

Locking in your rateWhat does it mean to "lock in" an interest rate? When you lock in an interest rate, you make an agreement with alender that keeps the rate on your loan application from fluctuatingup or down as long as you close within the specified rate lock period. When should I lock in a rate? It is a good idea to monitor rates and lock in on a day when theyhave hit a low point. We can help you identify a good time to lock ina rate, but ultimately it is your decision. In most cases, you can lockin at any point during the approval process, up to roughly a weekbefore closing. How long should I lock my rate for? The most common rate lock periods range from 15 to 90 calendardays. Typically, lenders offer better terms for shorter term rate lockswhile longer lock periods may come with higher rates or fees. Youshould not lock in your rate until you are conﬁdent that you willclose before the rate lock expiration date. What if I don't close before my lock expiration date? If you don't close before your lock expiration date, you may becharged extension fees or risk losing the rate that you hadpreviously locked in. Since closing timelines are difficult to predictprecisely upfront, it's advisable to leave a cushion of time betweenthe rate lock expiration date and the anticipated closing date.What if rates change after I lock? If rates go up, the rate you locked in will be honored as long as youclose before the rate lock expiration date or extension periodgranted. If rates go down meaningfully, we can attempt to reducethe rate, but those requests are considered on a case-by-case basisand are not guaranteed.

A "point" is a one-time upfront additional closing cost (one "point"is equal to 1% of the loan amount) that a loan applicant canchoose to pay in exchange for a lower rate over the life of theloan. Here are a few factors to consider when deciding if it's theright move for you:Break-Even AnalysisThe "break-even" point is the amount of time it takes for thecumulative monthly savings from the reduced rate to equal theextra closing costs associated with the point. If the client plans tostay in the loan for longer than the break-even point, then thepoint option may be worth considering. The longer a client plansto stay in the property, the more they will benefit from choosingthe point option. Here's a hypothetical example: Reduction in monthly payment for paying points: $250 Cost of points: $5,000 Break-even point: 20 months ($5,000 / $250) Points make sense if you hold the property for 20+ monthsReading Rate TrendsRates are cyclical and therefore it may make more sense to paypoints when rates are expected to rise. A client is more inclined tohold onto that mortgage for the longer term if it's unlikely thatlower rates will materialize into a refinance anytime soon.Conversely, when rates are high relative to historical averages,then refinancing is more likely in the near term when rates fall. Inthis situation, paying points may not be the best choice. Tax DeductibilityPoints paid on purchase transactions are generally tax deductible,but they may not be immediately tax deductible on refinances.Therefore, the true "net cost" of the points may actually be loweron purchase transactions because of the tax benefits you may getfrom paying them—thus shortening the break-even pointdiscussed above. For this reason, points are more immediatelybeneficial on purchase transactions compared to refinancetransactions. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that payingpoints on a refinance isn't worthwhile. It's important to discuss allavailable options and strategies with our team before making anydecisions.paying points to lower a rate

Credit tipsIt's OK to have more than one mortgage inquiryContrary to common belief, having more than one mortgage-related credit inquiry will not affect your credit score as long asthe inquiries are done within a 30-45 day window of each otherbecause the credit bureaus treat those as one inquiry. Don't apply for or open new credit accountsHaving additional non-mortgage related inquiries can drop yourscore and opening new accounts can drop it even further. If yourcredit score is sufficient to qualify for the best programs andrates, our suggestion is to not do anything with your credit beforeclosing on your new home purchase. Don't close unused credit accounts Your credit score is partially determined by the percentage ofyour available credit that is actually used ("credit utilization ratio").Another factor in your score is how long your current accountshave been opened, so closing them can actually hurt your score. Speak with us before paying off delinquent accounts In some cases, paying off delinquent accounts can negativelyimpact your score because it appears that you were at fault forthe delinquency. It can also make the activity on the delinquencymore recent on your credit report which can also lower yourscore. We can assist you with determining any steps that need tobe taken to ensure loan approval at the best possible terms. Credit scores are determined by a combination of complex factorsand consumers unknowingly take ill-advised actions that canactually hurt their score. Our team is here to help you avoid loweringyour score unnecessarily.

Home search tipsA knowledgeable real estate agent can help you narrow yoursearch and analyze comparable sales in the area. You will need toprovide your attorney's information upon acceptance of an offer, soit's best to have your attorney secured in advance to avoidunnecessary delays. Ask us for any referrals you need. Hire a qualified real estate agent and attorney early onSellers and their agents are generally savvy to current marketconditions. Making offers that are well below market value canbackfire and make a seller wonder if you're going to make alegitimate attempt to buy the property. Your agent can help youdetermine what offers have a realistic opportunity to be accepted. Submit realistic offersPurchasing a new home is a complex multi-step process withseveral parties involved. No matter how diligent or proactiveyou and your real estate team are, some things may not go yourway. You could get outbid at the last minute and inspections ornegotiations can suddenly go south. Unforeseen hurdles anddelays can occasionally occur during the loan process. Anticipating in advance that some challenges may arise duringthe process will help you keep perspective during thosetougher moments that can inevitably arise along the way. Expect some bumps along the wayPrecise closing dates are difficult to predict even well into thepurchase process, so always make sure you have ample time toclose your new transaction before agreeing to vacate your currentresidence. It's easier and less expensive to have a little overlap incovering expenses for both homes than it would be to be forced tofind temporary housing and storage for your belongings becauseyou cut your timeline too close to save a few bucks. We typicallyrecommend that you plan to overlap your old and new homes byat least 15-30 days whenever possible. Don't prepare to move too early

The Appraisal processWhat is the Purpose of an Appraisal Report? The underwriter needs to confirm the fair market value of theproperty to ensure that the maximum percentage of financingallowed on your loan is not being exceeded. An appraisal report isnot meant to replace a home inspection completed by an engineer.How Do Appraisers Determine Market Value? Appraisal reports include a detailed comparison of 4-6 similar nearbyproperties that have sold recently with adjustments made toaccount for specific property characteristics. How and When is an Appraisal Ordered? We order the appraisal through an independent appraisalmanagement company who randomly assigns the appraiser oncewe have received a signed purchase contract and loan disclosuresand once you've paid the appraisal fee. The appraiser will contactthe listing agent to schedule the inspection and will send the lenderthe report upon completion. What if My Appraisal Comes in Above/Below the Purchase Price? Underwriters use the lesser of the purchase price or the appraisedvalue to determine the final valuation. Therefore, if the appraisalcomes in higher than the purchase price, there is typically no impacton the transaction. If the appraisal comes in lower than the purchaseprice, then the underwriter needs to ensure that the loan does notexceed the maximum loan-to-value ratio allowed for the loan. Do Appraisal Accurately Reflect Market Values? For the most part, yes — but there are exceptions. An appraiser’svalue determination is based on what has sold in the past, not whata buyer would be willing to pay for the property today (which somepeople consider to be the “true” market value). In an appreciatingreal estate market, it’s possible that an appraisal is lower than thecurrent value, because the only comparable sales are for propertiesthat were sold in a previous lower-priced market. Conversely, theappraisal could potentially come in higher than the current marketvalue in a depreciating market.

what underwriters look forIncome & Employment HistoryUnderwriters calculate a "debt-to-income (DTI) ratio" - thepercentage of your income used for housing expenses and otherdebts/obligations. Qualifying income for salaried borrowers isdetermined by gross (before tax) income and a 2-year average ofbonus/commission/overtime income. For self-employed/freelanceborrowers and business owners, qualifying income is determinedby an average of the last 1-2 years of net income (after write-offs/expenses) on your tax returns. The maximum DTI ratio typicallyranges from 40% to 55% on most loan products. Keep in mindcoops may require much lower DTI ratios for board approval.Underwriters also look for stability in employment. You can usesalaried income to qualify immediately, but most programs requireyou to be self-employed in the same line of work for 2 years beforethe income can be used to qualify. Credit Score & Active Credit AccountsUnderwriters look at the credit score as well as the number ofaccounts that have been open and active over the previous 12-24months. The score used for underwriting and the rate you qualifyfor is typically the middle of the three credit bureaus' scores. Serious delinquencies such as short sales, foreclosures,judgments and bankruptcies are scrutinized more heavily as theyare a sign of more significant financial difficulties. Assets & Post-Closing ReservesBank statements covering the prior 2-3 months will be reviewedby the underwriter to confirm that you have sufficient funds for adown payment, closing costs and the amount of post-closingreserves you need to have in order to get loan approval. Largedeposits must be documented to be from an acceptable source. Property & AppraisalUnderwriters will review a title report (or lien search on a coop) toensure that there are no deficiencies that would affect the loanbeing in first lien position. On coop and condo purchases,underwriters will also review documents related to the buildingto ensure that it meets standard lending criteria. The lender willalso request an appraisal of the property to ensure that your loanamount doesn't exceed the maximum percentage of financingbased on the value of the property. Banks go off of the lower ofthe appraised value or contractual purchase price.
