Refinance
If everyone that told an innocent white lie on their mortgage application was tossed in jail for a year, we would have the biggest overcrowding problem in history. It is human nature to try to push the boundaries on things like our taxes and, yes, even our bank loan application forms because we do not really suspect that we will ever get caught. But, in the case of most major lenders, the chances of getting caught are very high. Lenders spend millions of dollars per year hiring teams of investigators that delve into every loan application that comes through their office to see how much of a risk each applicant is. The bank invests a lot of money into each mortgage and if even 10 percent of all mortgages and refinances default, most lenders would be in big trouble. If you are caught lying on your loan application, you can be arrested and charged with fraud. No one wants to have a permanent criminal record just because they told a lie on a loan form. The truth really is the best policy when it comes to applying for your next refinance.
If you want to find the best deal, there is a completely legal way to squeeze lenders into giving you the terms you want. It is called shopping around and it is the best thing to happen to bank loans in history. You can take an offer from one lender, get an offer and then apply to another with that offer in hand telling the second lender they have to beat the first offer. You let lenders compete for your business, and you come out the winner.
Mortgages
Shopping around is a huge part of getting your first mortgage, too. Since so many people get a first mortgage at a time in their lives when money is tight and they have just enough money saved up to buy a home, saving a little big on terms and a little on interest rate can really add up. That is why it is so important to shop around just a little, even if you are happy with your local lender. You never know what you will be able to save when you start checking out what is out there.
Home Equity Loans
Applying for a home equity loan is a simple process, but the first thing you will have to do is get a new appraisal done on your home. This appraisal is done to figure out what the new value of your home is. If you do not like the first appraisal, however, most lenders will let you hire a third part appraiser to get a second opinion.
