Think You Can't Buy a Home in Chicagoland? 10 Facts That Can Change Your Mind

     

 Think You Can't Buy a Home in Chicagoland?  

10 Facts That Can Change Your Mind

     I've found that Home Buyers looking to be Pre-Qualified/Pre-Approved

for a home loan purchase are often quite surprised by their ability to successfully get a Loan Approval without having PERFECT credit.   

     To add to that (pleasant) surprise, they also find that they can obtain a Mortgage with:   

• 3.5% down payment for a FHA loan 
• 0% Down Payment as a Veteran (VA Loan)  
• 0% Down Payment with USDA-Rural Development Loans (in certain rural areas)
•  3% Down Payment options are also available.  

     (For further details and information in the New Lenox - Will County - Chicagoland-IL/WI area, please contact me.)
      
     What's frustrating for me as a Mortgage Originator, is that myths continue to exist regarding down payments, credit scores, and "gift monies".  Myths that keep too many that want to buy from actively pursuing home ownership.  

     So I want to address only FACTS here:

     Fact #1:  I've closed many Mortgages that fly-in-the-face of these myths.  I've closed loans for Buyers with less-than-perfect credit.  With low Credit Scores at the time of their Closing ...  

     Fact #2:  I help those with Credit Scores below the range of immediately allowable lending, improve their Scores.  My advice and help are provided at no charge to the client.  Other LOs do much the same, but you rarely see or hear that reported by the media.  

     Fact #3:  Gift Monies have been involved in a large number of my closings.  I've written articles on this topic.  

     Fact #4:  Gift Monies ARE acceptable funds for down payments and closing costs, but there is a right way ... and a wrong way to utilize them and present them to an Underwriter.  

     
     Fact #5:  The more quickly you educate yourself regarding the use of Gift Monies (and the entire Mortgage Process), the better. 

     
     Fact #6:  The selection of your Mortgage Originator is vitally important. Take the time.  Make the effort to find the best professional possible.

     Fact #7:  An experienced Mortgage Originator like myself, can interview a prospective Home Buyer, pull their credit, analyze their income and debt, and assess the likelihood of an Underwriting Approval, in most cases, in a reasonably quick timeframe.  

     Fact #8:  It's true when it's reported that Borrowers must be more educated and actively participate in their Mortgage Process more than they used to in the past.  

     Fact #9: The quality of the guidance being received via your Mortgage Originator (and real estate professionals) and the quality and level of communication you share with them ... can make or break your home buying/financing experience.  

     But remember, it's also a FACT that the responsibility to communicate and produce results rests on both sides of the transaction ... professional AND clients.

     Fact #10:  Quality information, guidance, and assistance exist if you truly hope to buy, whether your purchase is immediate or at some point in the future.  Again, the sooner you seek and find help, the more quickly and smoothly you'll be able to successfully purchase and finance your home.

     Whether you're a hopeful Buyer with less-than-perfect Credit Scores, a poor Credit History, low/no down payment, hoping to use gift monies, or have little or no understanding of the process ... it can all be overcome.  You just need some time and the right professional at your side assisting you.
