Today I’m with Aiman Abozeid from Inlanta Mortgage, NMLS# 237450 and Inlanta NMLS# 1016, and he is going to be giving us some information about the different financing options in Madison. We’re both getting a lot of the same questions, so I thought I’d bring in one of our experts today.

What does it take to qualify for a mortgage in today’s market? All you need is average credit, verifiable income, and you need a plan to purchase a home. It’s not as easy to get a mortgage as it was in the late 2000’s, but it’s still within most people’s reach.

A lot of people like to ask what the ‘best loan’ is, but there is no ‘best’ loan. Each loan will work differently for you depending on your financial situation. Some loans will only require 3% down and others do not even require a down payment. It all depends on what you need.

Aiman does not recommend only going online and getting a loan. It’s the largest purchase of your life so he recommends sitting down and talking 4.1 pullto someone about it. If your goals aren’t known to the company, how can you expect to be aligned with the correct loan product for you?

Are there any loan products that most people overlook? Aiman recommends looking into a Mortgage Credit Certificate. This gives back 25% of the mortgage interest that you pay in a year as a first time home buyer. If you qualify, this can be up to to $2,000 per year savings.

Renovation loans are also underutilized. These allow you to take out a loan with no interest, and you can take the loan out against your home. It’s a great way to fund larger renovation projects.

If you have any questions for myself or for Aiman, don’t hesitate to ask!

Thanks!

We will be contacting you shortly with information about your home.
