5 Important Issues To Consider When Financing a Home

5 Important Issues To Consider When Financing a Home with a AZ FHA Lender.

Changing Jobs

· Changing jobs before or during the loan process within the same line of work typically does not pose a problem in qualifying. However, changes in pay structure or line of work may cause qualifying issues. Keep in mind that changing jobs during escrow may delay your transaction, as the new job will need to be verified.

Money Transfers, Large Deposits & Gifts

· It is best to leave your money right where it is until your loan is closed. Moving your money to a new bank or even into a new account can cause delays with the verification process. If large deposits, transfers or gifts are necessary, please make copies of all supporting documentation.

Paying Off Bills

· Your AZ FHA lender will inform you if it is necessary to pay off bills to qualify for a home loan. If reducing your debt is necessary, your loan officer will tell you which bills must be paid and the best method of payment for immediate verification from the creditor. In many cases, it is best to leave money in the bank rather than pay off bills.

Making Major Purchases

· Buying a new car, furniture or making other major purchases prior to financing a home can impact your ability to qualify. It is usually best to postpone these types of purchases until after the close of escrow.

Co-signing For Others

· Co-signing for someone for a credit card, car or home loan may significantly impact your ability to finance a home. In most cases, you will need to supply a minimum of 3 months of canceled checks (although sometimes 12) to prove that you do not make the payments on the co-signed account.

If you are considering any of the above-mentioned issues, call us to discuss the potential impact on your qualifications. I look forward to assisting you with your home financing and want to ensure as smooth of a transaction as possible.

The Impact A Short Sale Will Have On Your Credit Report

Depending on how the lender records the negative event on your credit report, it will lower FICO score as a result…but how much? We have seen the average FICO score drop 80-120 points as a result of a Short Sale and 120-150 points as a result of the Foreclosure. 

There are additional factors surrounding Short Sales, such as late payments prior to the Short Sale, which will further impact your score in addition to the negative result of the actual Short Sale event so keep it in mind. Several of our clients have been advised to miss payments and it will help the short sale process, which is not advised in my opinion. Several of our clients, which fall into this category will find it challenging when applying for a new home loan in the near future because the current FNMA guidelines will not allow you to purchase a home with a late payment prior to your short sale for a 3 year period. Although we have several clients with FICO scores above the lender requirements for FHA loans, they are force to wait until the 3 year period has expired or until we remove the late payments from their credit history. Either way, its costly and time consuming so we do not advise missing payments in order to expedite a Short Sale, but we understand that some of our clients do not have a choice. Several of our clients have been advised by the Loan Modification industry and Realtors to miss their payment, which is bad advice in my opinion so be cautious because anyone advising clients to miss a mortgage payment does not have the complete picture in mind. Unless the client does not have any intentions of purchasing a home using an FHA loan for the next three years, so be careful. 

In addition, we have also seen a ripple effect once a short sale or foreclosure has recorded in which our consumers find their revolving accounts (credit card companies), raising interests rates or closing out their line of credit. If your line of credit has been closed, you will see an addition drop in your FICO as a result. it may not make sense, but keep in mind….If you have a positive line a credit for the last 24 months and that line of credit is closed, you have just lost your positive credit so your score may drop as a direct result.
