Question: in todays market, is it wise to shop around to get the best interest rate on a loan? It seems that interest rates are high in California, there is a home in Arizona that im interest in. More property on a bigger lot. 5 bedrooms 3 bathrooms 2 car garage and RV driveway.. price is up there but lower than California thats for sure but also i managed to negotiate & interest rates are very low in comparison to everywhere else. Should i keep looking around?

We'd love to connect with you for a no-obligation consultation CLICK HERE ➡bit.ly/3wERfRV to schedule with us and we can provide you with additional information to help you with your decision-making process.
Great question. I recommend first talking to a lender that offers a variety of home loans including FHA to fully evaluate your financing options. From there, complete the home loan application, submit your documentation to get pre-approved. This part of the process will give you insight on the maximum loan amount you can qualify for, estimated payments and closing costs. Once you’re approved, you can start shopping and buy any home as long as it meets FHA’s property condition requirements. If you are interested in learning if you can prequalify, please schedule a quick 15-minute consultation with a Kelly Zitlow Group advisor bit.ly/3wERfRV
You are not excluded from being approved for an FHA loan when collection accounts are present on your credit report. 😊 Everyone’s circumstance varies as there are other items taken into account for an approval, such as debt to income ratio, assets, etc. Click here schedule an appointment to discuss your scenario bit.ly/3wERfRV

I’m wanting to apply for an FHA loan to buy a Lennar home. However, Lennar keeps trying to pressure me into financing through them. Will I still be able to get an FHA loan and buy the Lennar home that way instead of through Lennar? I don’t have enough funds saved for down payment or closing costs. I am a single mom who just started a new fantastic job at a stock brokerage firm, but I do make under 80k.
It’s a common practice for a new home build lender to incentivize buyers to use their preferred home financing company. A buyer isn’t required to use a builder’s preferred lender but generally would give up any incentives by not doing so. These incentives can range from a closing cost credit, design center credit, etc. When talking with Lennar’s preferred lender be sure to ask what the incentive to use their company is and inquire about both 3.50% down FHA financing as well as 3% down conventional financing.
It depends on the reason for the lates, the credit score, the overall credit profile, together with your debt-to-income ratio, assets and whether your loan can be approved through the automated underwriting engine (if one is needed for the loan you’re applying for).
I’m not familiar with them but can tell you there are many good mortgage lenders out there. I recommend talking to an experienced Loan Officer as they are the key to getting to the finish line.
Credit score and status of the bankruptcy will drive which loan program is best for you. Most home loan programs have waiting periods based on discharge or dismissal date of the bankruptcy. To fully evaluate your home financing options, I recommend applying for a home loan. Then the lender can review your specifics and give guidance based on your personal scenario.

Yes, you can! Typically, tax returns are only needed if you are self-employed. If you are a straight W2 employee, no tax returns will be needed. Happy to chat through your scenario, click the link here bit.ly/3wERfRV
@@MortgageHowDoI Thanks for the info I don't want to waste your time, 😊 so I'll give you a brief profile. I work in the wedding industry. I was told I wouldn't qualify for an FHA loan I'm not sure if I'm self employed and what the details are. So I want to qualify and not sure what to do. As an alternative my income is through Venmo which will roll over to a 1040 tax return In learning all this, I also registered my LLC last March 2024 . thank you.
Navigating mortgage qualification as a self-employed individual can be complex. Since you're transitioning Venmo statements to a Schedule C for tax purposes and have recently registered an LLC, it shows proactive steps toward meeting requirements. However, most lenders typically require two years of filed tax returns for self-employed individuals. Consulting with a CPA would be helpful as well. They can provide expert advice on tax matters.
Hi Jason! There are a variety of circumstances that could lead to not being approved for any type of home loan. Those may include credit score/credit profile; being self-employed for less than 2 years; debt to income ratio exceeds program guidelines; available assets for down payment and closing costs. I recommend finding an experienced lender to talk with about your specific scenario for the best guidance.
Go ahead and just give your house to the FHA. If can't come up with the down payment and your credit scores sucks, you will default and FHA owns your home.
so where do you go to apply for an FHA? A bank, website, credit union, company? Which banks have the FHA loan program?

Do I have to find a house I desire prior to getting the loan?

Can I use a FHA loan if the house I want to buy will NOT be my primary. I want to buy the house for a rental.

Can you still get a mortgage with 2 recent 30 day lates?
It depends on the reason for the lates, the credit score, the overall credit profile, together with your debt-to-income ratio, assets and whether your loan can be approved through the automated underwriting engine (if one is needed for the loan you’re applying for).
@@MortgageHowDoI Thanks 🙏🏾
Is amerisave a good company to get one with
I’m not familiar with them but can tell you there are many good mortgage lenders out there. I recommend talking to an experienced Loan Officer as they are the key to getting to the finish line.
What if I have to sell my current home first to get my down-payment and closing costs?
That is a great option, or you can try and buy and sell with a contingency.
My credit score is very low and I want to apply, and I also file bankruptcy will I still get approved
