Kyle, thank you so much for making these videos. This particular video helped us get the best rate. Just last night, we were able to lock in a 20-yr 2.39% rate w/ no points! We did exactly what you said in your video: we picked 3 lenders, did a full application, get an official loan estimate & looked at page 3 and had them compete for our business. I've shared this video in multiple social media groups already because it's been really helpful. Thanks again!
hello! Looking for a loan as well. We have spoken with a local mortgage broker thus far. What I'm getting confused about is the pre-approval process vs. full approval. My understanding is that you need to be ready to make an offer on a house to then use that pre-approval info to then compare on interest rates, etc. Is that correct? Matts on FIRE, is that what you did? Kyle, thanks for the great videos and info!
Hi Kyle - Lenders are saying they can't come up with a loan estimate until you have an accepted offer since they need an address of the house you are getting loan estimate for. How should I go about this?
@@jaysant6958 I'm a licensed loan officer now. You just need to submit an application with multiple lenders at the same time to compare rates once you have a purchase agreement or work with a broker that will shop around for you.
Really informative video!! Just wanted to confirm te following from you: Should one shop with 3 different lenders at the time of pre-approval? And when in contract, contact all 3 lenders again to check rates and lock with the one that has the best rates/ fees? Thanks!!
How do i shop around for loans when i dont know which loan to go with? Can i apply for preapproval with all loan types that a lender offers and ask them to give me loan estimates of fha, usda, and conventional or i need to choose first
Thank you so much for all the advice, I’ve been seen multiple videos and they help a lot. I just started with one lender which just gave me my total max loan amount and the interest rate, I asked about Origination fees and he told me I would have to pick a house and after that they would give me those prices, would that be accurate?
You're welcome! If a lender says that... RUN. There is no reason for a lender to not be 100% transparent and up-front with the fees on a loan. Find another lender who will be honest with you and treat you like a valued client instead of someone they can swindle.
Love your videos! Honestly so informative in each and every one of them. I learn so much, can't thank you enough. Looking to purchase a house in .... CALIFORNIA BAY AREA... so these videos are defiantly helpful. I feel confident going into the process because of you!
I am watching all your videos and empowering myself with knowledge. Thank you. & I just signed my initial contract for a new construction, 1 yr build time. Builder's preferred lender is offering me two options both 12 month rate lock. Do you have any advice which one maybe better or are they just the same in essence? Lender credit will cover deposit fee with both option. 1. 3.125% lock at 0.5% cost and 0.75% deposit fee (both on loan amount) 2. 3.25% lock at 0 cost and 0.75% deposit fee and 0.3% lender credit towards closing (on loan amount) Thank you in advance.
Any tips for those of us looking to purchase a home a couple hundred miles away and in a different state? I understand that a bank that has branches in each location would most likely be beneficial, but what about other types of lenders? Ideally, I really want to use a broker to work all possibilities for me, not just one company's options. How would I even find a mortgage broker? Definitely not interested in any online lenders. Thanks in advance.
How long after filling out the loan application should I contact the lenders. My credit score has been checked by the lenders but I have not heard from them. I am currently needing to be preapproved for a mortage loan in NC.
Only 10 days is going to be a bit tight. Usually 2 weeks is needed, it's possible faster can be done, but don't want things to be down to the wire. If you can get a contract extension we can take a look. Feel free to email me kyle@winthehouseyoulove.com
Kyle do you have information about how to get financing on a unwarrantable Condo in California. It seems some lenders are not familiar. We found on this condo but learned that it's an unwarrantable condo because one person owns 30 of the units. We are put in touch with a investor, we've been waiting for 3 weeks and still they have not given us an answer. Can we get help with this?
You are a lifesaver I am starting to look for a 2nd place and your advice is awesome. I am thinking of refinancing my existing place because my existing mortgage balance is less than 40K. Is it a good idea to refinance and buy the second place as investment ? Many Thanks for your help.
Do you know of any lenders that offer mortgages for properties with deed restrictions? Looking at a city program which offers below market properties for low to moderate income buyers. Thank you.
Hey Cheyenne! Great question! Most people will refinance a couple times over a 30 year period. If you're ready to start on a pre-qualification, feel free to visit www.winthehouseyoulove.com/lender or shoot me an email at kyle@winthehouseyoulove.com. I'm here to help! 😊
Great video! If you would like to go with a loan broker, how to find a loan broker working in your interest and not their? Having a hard time find one!
I'm going through this process and being told that the interest rate is subject to change? Is that the case? kinda confused on the best way to compare interest rates when they are not set in stone.
Kyle what’s the ideal time to compare rates between different lenders? Suppose I buy a house from a builder and the estimate completion of constructing the house is by end of 2021. Does it make sense to shop around right now or should I wait probably 2 months before it’s been constructed?
This is such a helpful video. I always learn so much from you!!! When you do a full application for a pre approval and submit documents....the lender should give the Loan Estimate paper? Or is that something we have to ask to see?
I'm so glad to hear!! Technically, a lender isn't legally required to send you a Loan Estimate until they know 6 things about you: - Name - Income - SSN - Purchase price - Loan Amount - Address At pre-approval, they'll know everything except for an address. So, they don't have to give you one, but you can always request it. As soon as they know all 6, they legally are required to send you a Loan Estimate.
Do you know if USDA is far behind on mortgage approvals? My realtor said they are 3 months behind and she worries about the sellers giving us a hard time. They are buying a new home and selling this one, at the same time. What happens if my loan is not approved by the date on my contract? Im stressed 🤪
USDA Guaranteed should not be that far behind. USDA Direct, though, I'm not as familiar with. You can Google "USDA Guaranteed turn times YOURSTATE" and it will show you the turn times in your state. For instance, it's 8 days in Ohio right now.
My sister bought a house and put 25,000 and come to find out all that went to other closing cost but only 5,000 went to her house she cried and cried cuz damn that’s a lot.
Great video, still trying to figure everything out before house hunting in TN. Is there a formula for how much to have in savings before thinking about applying for a home mortgage to cover down payment, closing costs and money left over to keep in savings? Looking at 500000 house, 120yr salary. Seems like I would deplete my entire savings to purchase a home with 20 percent down. Thank you.
@@WinTheHouseYouLove Great calculator, thank you very much. Sorry to bug you, but at the end of the calculation, how much should I strive to leave in savings? This will factor how much down payment I can afford.
@@WinTheHouseYouLove I really like the download calculator you posted and having fun with it. Living in California right now but hope to buy in Middle Tn when I retire. I don't think we are in a position to buy right now after looking at the numbers. Salary is 120yr, sounds like a lot but not here in Ca. Savings at 70g and looking to buy 500000 house in Tn. Think we need to save some more. Once again, thank you for the calculator.
My grandma has given me money as a gift for my closing costs. She took money out of her 401k for this, will that paper trail from the 401k, to her bank, to me, be ok to use? She is 83, so this isn’t a loan from her 401k, it’s her money.
@@amanda9194 no gift tax if it’s less than the annual exclusion (15k for Current year) but she may have to report it on her tax return for reporting purposes

Mortgage brokers can’t lock in rates until you have an offer accepted. So should i still go shop around?
Always good to shop :)
Hello, On Oct 12th I applied for loan amd dropped five points...does this mean I have two more weeks to apply with no additional points dropped?
That's correct :)
This is so valuable! Thank you!
Wow! Thank you from me and Dan. :)
How long after filling out the loan application should I contact the lenders. My credit score has been checked by the lenders but I have not heard from them. I am currently needing to be preapproved for a mortage loan in NC.
I'd reach out if you haven't heard from them in about 2-3 days
