How Construction Loans Can Help You Build Your Dream Home

January 3, 2022 by MMS Mortgage Services

Achieving the goal of moving into your dream house may require a mortgage but financing the construction may require something different than a standard mortgage used to complete the purchase of an existing house. A construction mortgage loan pays for the building or renovation of a house. However, such a mortgage loan will require a different approval process than a traditional mortgage loan used to purchase a move-in ready house. If you’re hoping to build a new (custom) house or conduct major renovations into an existing house, construction loans might be the option for you.

What is a Construction Mortgage Loan?

Construction mortgage loans are made to finance the construction and renovation of a home. This type of mortgage loan usually carries lower interest rates than mortgages and is usually for shorter terms, with the entire loan paid off upon completion of the project. Lenders usually require a construction loan to define how the money will be used.A construction loan is the type of mortgage loan wherein you’re essentially getting cash to pay for the construction as progress is completed on the various phases of the construction process.

Types of Construction Loan

There are a few different types of construction loans, and the one that is right for you will depend on your financial situation and your goals.

Construction-to-Permanent Loans

This type of loan is the most common and is the one used in most home renovation projects. T After the work is done, the loan is then repaid over a term of a few years.

What is a “TRUE” Construction Mortgage Loan

A “TRUE” Construction Mortgage loan is used to pay all costs of construction during the construction process to make the house a move-in ready property. This can include everything from the purchase of the vacant land and or demolishing an existing structure to landscaping and light fixtures. This type of loan usually requires a contract with a licensed builder, a complete line-item costs to complete data (value) and a plans & specs appraisal of the finished product as proposed. The lender will establish the loan amount in relation to the lower of appraised and cost to complete value (LTV) based on credit and other underwriting criteria. This type of construction mortgage loan generally requires interest only payments based on the amount of money you have drawn to pay for the previous month(s) progress payments made to the various providers of goods and services while building the house. Once the house is completed as agreed and you have a certificate of occupancy, you now are required to pay back the money you borrowed to complete the construction of your dream house. This can be accomplished in one of two ways. You will be required to commit to one or the other prior signing for the construction mortgage loan way at the beginning of the process.

The first way is a Construction to Permanent Mortgage Loan. When the construction is completed your construction loan balance is simply rolled over into a standard 30 year fixed loan, just as if you purchased a completed (existing) house.The second way is to get an “END” loan. This is a mortgage loan that is used to pay off the construction mortgage loan balance. This is really nothing more than a refinance mortgage loan. Which has many advantages and disadvantages. Contact one of our construction mortgage loan officers to discuss the option that best meets your goals.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking to significantly renovate your home, a construction loan might be just the ticket. You can use it to finance the construction of new additions, or you can use it to construct a custom home from scratch.

Everything You Need to Know About Mortgage Refinancing

December 17, 2021 by MMS Mortgage Services

Any person that owns a home with an existing mortgage is eligible to refinance it, which basically means getting a brand new mortgage loan. Your ability to refinance depends on several factors, including how much equity you have in your home.

How Home Refinancing Works

When you refinance, you’re pretty much trading your current mortgage for a new one, usually with a new lender and interest rate. Refinancing is a way to save money and pay off your mortgage early.

It makes sense to refinance if you can lower your interest rate and pay off your mortgage more quickly. In addition, you have to re-qualify for a mortgage, which involves a credit check and most of the time a new appraisal is required. (but case by case underwriting may waive the property inspection aka appraisal).

Applying for a Mortgage Refinance

The first and foremost step to take in mortgage refinancing is to apply for it. You will have different options when you decide to refinance, and your lender will ask for the same information you gave them when you first bought your home.

Aside from that, they may ask for other documents such as:

Two most recent bank statements
Two most recent pay stubs
Two most recent W-2s

If you’re married, your lender will also need your spouse’s documents. If you decide to work with a new lender, they will pay off the current loan, ending your connection with your current mortgage lender/servicer.

Locking In Your Interest Rate

Once you get approved for a loan, your lender may give you the option to lock your interest rate to ensure it doesn’t change before your loan closes. You can lock in your mortgage rate for anywhere from 15 to 60 days. The length of the lock depends on factors like your location, loan type, lender, etc. If your loan doesn’t close before this period ends, you may need to extend the rate lock, which can cost you money.

Another option you may be given is to float your rate, which means not locking your interest rate as you proceed to get your loan processed and approved. You may get a lower rate, but there’s also the risk of getting a higher one, which could disqualify you from an approval!

Underwriting

Once your application is submitted, your lender will begin the underwriting process, which involves verifying your documents. Aside from personal information, other details may include when precisely the home was bought and an appraisal for the value of your home. The appraisal is critical because it’s what dictates your options moving forward.

Home Appraisal

When you decide to refinance your home, an appraiser may visit your property to get an estimate of the home’s worth, so make sure it looks its best before the appraiser arrives.

If the appraised value is higher than the amount you want to refinance, you can complete the underwriting process, or amend your application to increase your mortgage loan amount. But if the appraised value is lower than the amount for which you are looking to refinance, you can either cancel your application or write a check to cover the difference between the appraised value and the current mortgage loan balance payoff amount.

Closing On Your New Loan

Once everything has been done, the only thing left to do is to close your new mortgage loan. Your lender will send a Closing Disclosure where you’ll see all the final loan details. You’ll attend the closing, usually with an escrow agent, an attorney representing the title insurance company or a closing agent from the title insurance agency. At closing, you’ll review the details of the loan and sign your loan documents. If your lender owes you money for closing costs or a cash-out refinance, you’ll receive the funds after closing, subject to any applicable right of rescission.

Final Thoughts

If you’re in a bit of a tight financial situation, refinancing your current mortgage loan may be a great solution to solve your troubles.

Every homeowner must have options for paying their mortgage loan with ease, and our financial experts are there to help you before and after the closing.

How to Obtain a Conventional Loan For Your New Home

December 10, 2021 by MMS Mortgage Services

When looking for favorable mortgage options, you can never go wrong with conventional loans.

They account for many home purchases and refinances and are guaranteed through the private sector—different types of mortgage lenders from banks to online lenders.

If you are a first-time home buyer in Michigan, the following paragraphs will tell you all about conventional loans, things you need to secure to acquire one, and the advantages of choosing this mortgage for your new home.

Types of Conventional Loans

Depending on your eligibility, there are three main types of conventional loans to choose from: Conforming loans, Jumbo loans, and Non-qualified mortgages.

Conforming loans are mortgages that fall within the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s limits.

The government-sponsored enterprise, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, can buy them from lenders through the secondary mortgage market. These loans which conform to the guidelines of Fannie and Freddie make them a marketable security allowing for them to be bought and sold between lenders, banks and Fannie and Freddie themselves. Conforming loans thereby gives lenders the ability to sell these loans and get back their capital to continue making new mortgages accordingly.

Jumbo loans, on the other hand, can’t be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Also known as non-conforming loans, jumbo loans are mortgages that exceed conforming maximum loan limits. Jumbo loans are available to well-qualified borrowers who need larger loan amounts than the loan size limits offered in conventional loans.

Non-qualified mortgages or non-QM loans are a good option for borrowers who can afford a mortgage but cannot meet the credit or Debt To Income ratio requirements. Non-QM loans can’t be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Some of these are FHA, VA, USDA and other private lender loans.

The Requirements You Need to Meet for a Conventional Loan

Conventional loans tend to have stricter requirements than government-backed loans like FHA loans, VA loans, and USDA loans. You will need to secure a good credit score, balanced debt-to-income ratio, down payment, private mortgage insurance, and approved loan size.

The following are important details to note for each requirement:

Credit score: The minimum credit score requirement to qualify for a conventional loan is 620. However, mortgage lenders favor borrowers with a 740 score or higher-offering them the lowest interest rates and the best deals.
Debt-to-income ratio: Most lenders will not want the debt-to-income ( your total debts/total gross income) ratio to exceed 43 percent.
Down payment: You need to prepare for a down payment if you plan to get a conventional loan. If you’re planning to get a primary residence, you can make a down payment of as small as 3 or 5 percent since many fixed-rate conventional loans allow it.
Private mortgage insurance: If you put down less than 20% of the sale price of the property percent, you’re required to pay private mortgage insurance to help protect the lender in case you default.
Loan size: The Federal Housing Finance Agency sets limits to conforming conventional loans each year. These limits vary depending on where the property is located. However, rates in the majority of the U.S. in 2021 is at $548,250.

The Value of Conventional Loans

There are many advantages to getting a conventional loan. One of its biggest appeals is the cancellable mortgage insurance. After paying 20 percent equity in the home, you can cancel your private mortgage insurance.

Conventional loans are also available for second homes and investment properties. This is widely different from the stricter requirement of government-backed mortgage programs, which usually obligates borrowers to live in the home as a primary residence.

Because conventional loan rates are based on economic and market conditions and your lender’s overhead, the rate you get will be determined by the current economic climate and your credit score. If you have good credit, you will most likely get the best rates. Conventional loans also have flexible repayment timelines, where lenders allow borrowers to choose from a wider range of time frames for loan terms.

Your Mortgage Experts in Michigan

Getting a conventional mortgage is one of the most versatile loans you can find for your new

home. The best thing for you to do is get in touch with a company that offers full-service mortgage solutions so that you can explore and select the most suitable option.

JoAnn with MMS Mortgage Services was super helpful, attentive to the details, and kept things moving along - in a friendly way! - getting me to closing day smoothly.

JoAnn was incredible! As first time homebuyers, the process was definitely confusing and a little stressful. Our previous lender we worked with was not helpful, and failed to explain everything to us. JoAnn was incredibly patient, responsive, and knowledgeable. We closed on our home quicker than we expected, and got so lucky with her. I will recommend anyone to JoAnn without a doubt!

I recently did a refinance with Chris Pugh at Member Mortgage Service. The service through the whole process was excellent. Chris took my application on my lunch hour and I got a call to set up the appraisal that night. The appraiser was at my home the next day. We closed within three weeks. I encountered one issue when a check issued to pay off my charge did not reach the bank. I called the title company and they immediately let me know they could over night a check to me and I could pay it at a local branch. The charge was paid off the next day. #excellent service

My loan officer was extremely knowledgeable, answered all my questions every step of the way (Even after hours and on weekends), and made the process for my family seamless. I highly recommend MMS Mortgage Services to everyone I know!

They were great to work with, everyone was friendly and efficient. They explained everything very well. Would work with them again.
