Hazelwood, Missouri (MO)

Hazelwood is wonderful city with lots of history. Hazelwood is a quick commute from St. Louis and is growing every year, along with its great job opportunities

If you believe that Hazelwood may be for you and you are looking for a wonderful home, then you may need a mortgage. A mortgage helps you get the home you want without having to put thousands of dollars down.

The Mortgage

If you are moving to Hazelwood or you are trying to find your first home, then you may need a mortgage. There are many different mortgages for you to look into. Before you start looking for your perfect home, it is a good idea to get pre-approved by your lender. When you do get pre-approved, you will know exactly what you can afford. There are many different types of mortgages out there, but there are only two you need to know about. Those two are a fixed rate and an adjustable rate mortgage.

  • A fixed rate mortgage is a safe investment. With a fixed rate mortgage, you keep the same interest rate as when you got your loan until that loan matures. Your monthly payments stay the same so that you are never surprised.
  • An adjustable rate mortgage is a little more unstable but can be really rewarding. With this type of mortgage, your interest rate changes from month to month. This can be good or bad because your monthly payments can either rise or lower.

If you have one type of home loan and you now want another, you still have options. You can talk to your lender about refinancing.

Refinance

When you refinance your home loan, you are essentially taking out a new loan to pay off the old one, hopefully at a lower interest rate. A smart plan would be to refinance when the interest rates are 2 percentage points below what you are already paying. You can talk to one of our professionals about the refinancing options available to you. You may be surprised by what you can get.

There are many reasons to refinance your mortgage:

  • You have a fixed rate mortgage from years ago and now the interest rates are much better.
  • You have an adjustable rate and now you want a fixed rate mortgage or vice versa.
  • You have other unexpected payments and debts.

If refinancing is a good fit for you, then the option is always available. There are many different ways you can refinance your mortgage. Talk to our professionals about an interest-only loan. You only have to pay the interest for a short period of time instead of the principle. This allows you to pay off any other unexpected payments you may have.

The Home Equity Loan

If you have had your mortgage for a while, then you probably have equity in your home. Equity is the difference between the value of your home and the amount you owe on the loan. You are now able to borrow against that amount and use the improved interest rates towards credit debt, pay for an education, or even go on a vacation. This type of loan is called a second mortgage, so it does pay off your original mortgage. Because of this a refinance loan might be more appropriate in some situations.

There are a few types of home equity loans for you to choose from:

  • A home equity line of credit
  • A lump sum payment.

You can now use the extra cash for whatever you want and pay it back at a lower, more favorable interest rate.
