Stay in touch with your mortgage broker, lender and real estate agent – but don’t drive them crazy!
Appraisal involves your lender verifying the value of the property you want to purchase. In some cases the lender may also wish to have a surveyor examine and certify the property’s boundaries.
Sometimes problems come up: what if the property appraises for less than the price you have agreed to pay? The title company will research the property title and certify it free of problems and then issue a title insurance policy. Just remember that title insurance does not cover future events, like life or auto insurance. Especially if you have no experience in the building trades!
After the appraisal has been done you and the lender will have a definitive idea of the property’s value and now you can start shopping for homeowners/hazard insurance. Cash value polices are cheaper.
Unforeseen problems: As the lender’s underwriters process your loan, things can come up. Lenders will also want assurance that the association’s management is competent, has an adequate maintenance budget, carries adequate insurance, etc. In any case the lender must provide you with written reasons within 30 days. If you think there was discrimination involved, call the toll-free numbers the lender must provide. Otherwise, keep shopping for a loan elsewhere.
As always, work with a mortgage professional, they can answer your many questions and guide you to the right lender for the right loan for you.
