Purchase Questions How much should I put down on a house?A common misconception is that a 20% down payment is required, but we work with many lenders who allow lower amounts. FHA loans may require as little as 3.5%, while VA and USDA loans may offer no down payment options. What is a pre-approval? A formal process where we review yourfinancial details including, but not limited to,your income, assets and credit, to determinehow much home you can afford. What you\u2019repre-approved for is then put into writing on aletter which we\u2019ll provide to your real estateprofessional to demonstrate your financialability to purchase a home. What\u2019s the difference between an appraisal and an inspection?An appraisal determines the value of the property to ensure the loan amount is appropriate for the home\u2019s worth and that a home is safe and structurally sound. An inspection asses far more thoroughly the condition of the property, identifying any potential issues with the home\u2019s structure, overall safety, systems and their remaining lifespan. Home inspections are not required but are recommended. Refinance Questions What is a refinance? Refinancing involves replacing your currentmortgage with a new one, often to takeadvantage of lower interest rates, change theloan term, or turn your equity in to cash-in-hand. How do I know if it\u2019s the right time to refinance?You should consider refinancing if you can secure a lower interest rate, reduce monthly payments, shorten your loan term, or consolidate debt. We will provide expert assistance in assessing potential savings versus refinancing costs to ensure it aligns with your financial goals. What is the difference between a refinance and a home equity loan?Refinancing involves replacing your existing mortgage with a new one, typically to secure a lower interest rate or change loan terms. A home equity loan allows you to borrow against you\u2019re equity you\u2019ve built without replacing your original mortgage \u2013 it\u2019s a second mortgage that will have a separate payment from your first mortgage. General Questions What is a mortgage broker?A mortgage broker is a professional who has built strong relationships with many different lenders. They use those relationships to shop and secure the best mortgage terms for their clients. They offer personalized advice and access to diverse loan products, saving you time and money compared to dealing directly with a single lender. Lincoln Capital Funding is a proud mortgage broker and has direct relationships with over 20 different lenders. What are the different types of mortgages? Fixed-Rate Mortgage: The interest rate stays the same for the entire term of the loan, making your monthly payments predictable. Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM): The interest rate is fixed for a period of time and can change periodically based on market conditions, after the fixed rate period ends. Interest-Only Mortgage: You only pay the interest for a certain period, after which you start paying principal and interest. FHA Loan: A government-backed loan with lower down payment requirements and more lenient credit standards. VA Loan: A loan backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible veterans and surviving spouses, often with favorable terms. USDA Loan: A loan backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for rural and suburban homebuyers with low to moderate incomes. \u00a0 What is the difference between the principal and interest? Principal: The original amount of money borrowed. Interest: The cost of borrowing that money, expressed as a percentage of the principal \u00a0 How is my mortgage payment calculated? Your monthly mortgage payment typically includes: Principal: Repayment of the loan amount. Interest: The cost of borrowing. Taxes: Property taxes, which are often included in your payment and held in escrow by the lender. Insurance: Homeowners insurance and possibly private mortgage insurance (PMI) if your down payment is less than 20%. \u00a0 What is an escrow account?An escrow account is managed by the lender to hold funds for property taxes and insurance premiums. Your monthly mortgage payment often includes a portion that goes into this account, which the lender then uses to pay these expenses when they come due. What are closing costs?Closing costs are fees associated with finalizing the mortgage. They can include appraisal fees, title insurance, loan origination fees, and other charges. These typically amount to 2-5% of the home&#8217;s purchase price. How long is a typical mortgage term?Mortgage terms commonly range from 15 to 30 years. A 30-year term has lower monthly payments but higher overall interest costs compared to a 15-year term. What is a mortgage amortization schedule?An amortization schedule is a table that shows each payment\u2019s breakdown between principal and interest throughout the life of the loan, as well as the remaining balance after each payment. How is my mortgage rate determined?Your mortgage rate depends on several factors, including, but not limited to, your credit score, loan amount, down payment, loan type, property type and current market conditions. How long is the mortgage process?The industry average is 30-45 days from application to closing. We average 12-14 days for a refinance and 14-20 days for a home purchase. What credit score do I need to qualify for a mortgage?Conventional mortgages require a minimum credit score of 620, though higher scores result in better terms. When it comes to FHA and VA loans, many lenders require credit scores of 580 and above, however, we work with many lenders who allow for scores 500 and above. What our clients say about us. Sarah T.
