When purchasing a home, applying for the mortgage loan is distressing for a lot of people, but it doesn't have to be. I have close business relationships with a lot of mortgage lenders, and they've helped me recognize a few things that make the loan application process very manageable.

1 – Organize a list of questions about your loan program

Be sure you have a list of questions with you if you don't perfectly comprehend the pros and cons of all the various programs. Oftentimes, it can be a challenge to know the characteristics of both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages. I or one of my trusted lenders will help you understand the advantages and disadvantages of both.

2 – Determine when to lock

When you lock in a rate, it signifies that a mortgage lender commits to the mortgage interest rates for the loan – ordinarily at the time the loan application is sent in. By floating the rate, you can lock the rate anytime between the day you apply for your loan and issuance of closing documents. Those who decide to float believe interest rates will dip in the near future. Click here to see the outlook for the next 90 days of interest rates.

3 – Decide if you want to pay additional points to lower your interest rate

When you elect to pay additional points to lower the rate of your loan, you'll pay for them in cash at closing. Every point is 1 percent of the loan. Click here to use our points calculator. It will assist you with deciding if purchasing points is the best option for you.

4 – Gather your paperwork

Acquiring a mortgage loan requires lots of paperwork, so you should take some time to get all your documentation together. Click here to preview typical questions you'll have to answer on a loan app.
