Help with Choosing a Mortgage What You Need to Know

Inflation is hitting home. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that mortgage interest rates are hovering around 5% nationwide. The American housing market has not seen these figures in over 10 years. Mortgage rate hikes are not yet cooling down the real estate market; house buying is still highly active. Nevertheless, homebuyers must be willing to look around for a suitable mortgage.

 

You Will Pay for What You Do Not Know

 

The house hunt for first-time buyers is like a walk in the dark forest. These people have little idea of what to do and where to look for a mortgage. Some great opportunities will thus pass them by.

 

A Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan is not the only way to go. A house hunter may qualify for a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) mortgage or one from the Veterans Administration (VA). These charge reasonable rates, and a sterling credit score is not always necessary to qualify for one. A house buyer will not jeopardize financial wellness by having one of these mortgage products. Unfortunately, where to find these bargains and how to apply for them is not readily available knowledge for many.

 

Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services understands the frustration of many first-time house buyers. We want to help people get their share of the American Dream without straining their budgets. Our financial wellness benefit has an invaluable self-study program for house hunters.
