What You Need to Know about First Time Buyer Mortgages
Buying a home for the first time is complicated because you are going to have to do so many different things at one time and in order to do it right you are going to have to do these things in the right order. The mortgage process is the most difficult part of buying a home. Most people wrongly think that it is going to be finding their dream home that is going to be the most difficult part, not getting the mortgage.
The hard work begins once you have found your house. The first thing you are going to do is to talk to several banks and figure out what your mortgage options are. As a first time buyer, you are probably going to get a lot more help than someone who is a repeat buyer and you might even get extra deals. If you are a first time buyer buying a house or condominium, you are going to find that banks want your business because you have a good credit score or reject your application quickly.
They are going to love your application if you have a good credit rating and you have a solid financial history. The banks and lending companies are going to hate you if you have bad credit, and if you are a first time buyer you might find it impossible to find anyone besides high risk lenders to give you the money.
What awaits a first time buyer? Those who are getting their first mortgage are going to find that the bank that is lending them the money is extra attentive and responsive to everything. You should also check with your bank to see if they can offer you a lower interest rate, a no fee or no closing cost mortgage or a reduction (or elimination) of the private mortgage insurance that is often required when your down payment is not enough.
Some banks are going to offer those first time buyers a chance to learn about mortgages. This usually comes in the form of a class or seminar where you can learn all about mortgages. Sometimes these classes are optional but some banks require that everyone learn about budgeting your money, how much mortgage they can afford, the different types of mortgages out there, how to pay off their mortgage and other things that you need to make the transition from renter to homeowner successful.
Why are banks so concerned about first time buyers? The reason banks want you to be happy is that if you are impressed by their services you are going to be more likely to come back in the future for your next mortgage or for other financial services. When you move, you will need another mortgage. If you were satisfied with the service that you received, you are going to be more likely to come back, which makes more money for the bank.
A first time mortgager is going to get the process explained to him step-by-step and may even receive special deals from the bank or lending institution. It is also the responsibility of a first time buyer to shop around and see what the best mortgage deal possible for them is so that they can save as much money as possible.
