3 Major Financial Considerations for Del Mar Home Buyers

Before buying your Del Mar dream home you need to consider how your mortgage application will be reviewed.  Below are three areas that you need to be careful of:

1. Dont Move Money Around

When a Mortgage lender reviews your loan application for approval, one of the things they are concerned about is how you are going to make the down payment and closing costs, specifically where this money will come from. Many lenders will ask you to provide statements for the last two or three months on any of your liquid assets. By liquid assets I mean sources of funds like checking accounts, savings accounts, money market funds, certificates of deposit, stock statements, mutual funds, and even your 401K and retirement accounts. If you have been moving money between accounts during that time, there will be records of both large deposits and withdrawals showing in these statements. Due to this the mortgage underwriter will probably require a complete accounting of all the withdrawals and deposits. This may require you to produce cancelled checks, deposit receipts, and any other relevant data, which could get quite tedious. To eliminate potential fraud, it is a requirement on most loans to completely document the source of all funds. Moving your money around, even if you are consolidating your funds to make it "easier," could make it more difficult for the lender to properly document. As you plan to purchase your Del Mar home leave your money where it is until the mortgage process is over or you have discussed the moves you want to make with your loan officer. One more thing, DO NOT CHANGE BANKS.

2. Your Employment

For most people, changing employers will not really affect your ability to qualify for a mortgage loan, especially if you are going to be earning more money. For some home-buyers, however, the effects of changing jobs can be disastrous to your loan application. If you have any question about how a job change will affect your loan talk with your lender before doing so.  DO NOT change your employment to a self-employed status until AFTER the purchase. You will usually need two years worth of financial records under self employment for your mortgage approval.

3. No Major Purchase of Any Kind

Dont Buy a Car or any other major purchase that would create debt of any kind. This includes furniture, appliances, electronic equipment, jewelry, vacations, expensive weddings.

Terms such as Origination, Loan Discount, or Junk fees are important to understand and will make obtaining a mortgage a more relaxed experience. Not all closing costs are equal, some are mandated by local, state, or federal government, while others are standard requirements set up by mortgage lenders.  These are quite normal and not a problem.  There are others that you need to be careful of are the "optional" ones.

The most common of the optional fees are generally the origination and junk fees. Origination fees are the money you pay to the mortgage broker, company or bank that
