Applying for a home loan in CUPERTINO with help from Om Talajia

Feeling lots of anxiety over getting financing for a home purchase? You don't have to be. I've got great connections to a lot of lending companies in the CUPERTINO area, and they've helped me realize some things that make the process of applying for a loan very easy.

1 – Assemble a list of questions about your loan program

Be sure you have a list of questions with you if you find that you do not fully grasp the pros and cons of all the different programs. I or one of my lender contacts will be able to help you understand the advantages and disadvantages of each program, because it's hard to understand the distinctions between both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages.

2 – Decide when to lock

Locking in the interest rate signifies that your lender keeps to the interest rates for the loan – ordinarily at the time the loan application is received. By floating the rate, you can lock the rate at any time between the day of your loan application and closing. Those who elect to float believe that interest rates will plunge in the near future.

3 – Determine if you want to pay additional points to decrease your rate

Generally you can opt to pay additional points to lower the rate of your mortgage loan. Every point is 1 percent of the mortgage loan and is payable in cash at closing. Click here to use our points calculator. This tool will assist you in deciding if purchasing points is the best option for you.

4 – Gather your paperwork

Acquiring a loan requires a lot of paperwork, so you should take some time to get all your documentation together. Click here to get a feel for normal information that goes on a loan application.
