In most real estate transactions you need to establish a relationship with a local lender to act as the mortgage holder. Some of the key factors in choosing your lender are:
- Interest Rates
- Points
- Types of Mortgages
- Length of Terms Available
- Fixed Rate
- Fluctuating Rate
It is important to search for a lender who is willing to act as a financial counselor. He/she should be able and willing to analyze your financial situation and offer you a mortgage program tailored to your particular needs keeping in mind interest rates, cash requirements and monthly payments.
