If you are interested in moving to Dundalk , you are going to need a mortgage. If you already call the Dundalk home, you could benefit from a refinance or even a home equity home. Here is a quick reference guide to help you through the mortgage and refinance process.
Mortgage
One of the first things you need to get before you even start looking for a home in the beautiful Dundalk area is a pre-approved mortgage. Every lender handles pre-approvals a different way, but it can really boost your chances of getting your bid on a home accepted if you are already pre approved for a mortgage because pre approval tells a home seller that you are very serious about buying a home. A recent study showed that if you are pre-approved for a mortgage, you are twice as likely to get your bid accepted by a seller.
To get pre-approval, you will have to find a lender that you want to work with and fill out some preliminary paperwork. The bank needs to take a look at your finances to make sure you are a likely candidate for approval of a mortgage. Once they have a good idea that you are not a bad risk, you will be pre-approved, and you will have taken a huge step towards home ownership.
Refinance
While there is no pre-approval process for a refinancing, you can help your lender by making sure you have all the right paperwork ready to turn in once they ask for it. Your lender should give you a complete list of the documents they will need to make a complete decision on your application.
Home Equity Loan
Similar to refinancing, your loan officer should give you a comprehensive list of all of the common documents your lender will ask for during the process. You can speed things along by having all of these documents on hand before they are needed.
