Mortgage refinancing can save you a lot of money if you go about it correctly. In order to avoid overpaying for you new loan you need to research mortgage companies and ask the right questions. Here are three questions you need to ask your mortgage loan representative when mortgage refinancing to avoid overpaying for your next mortgage loan.
I. Do You Close in the Name of The Wholesale Mortgage Lender?
The answer you are looking for from your mortgage representative is "Yes." If your loan representative tells you that they close in the name of their own company, you are dealing with a Broker-Bank. Mortgage Broker-Banks are exempt from disclosure laws that protect you from predatory lending practices and you should never take out a mortgage loan from a company that does not have to play by the rules.
II. Will You Add Yield Spread Premium To My Mortgage Rate?
Yield Spread Premium is the retail markup of your mortgage interest rate by the Mortgage Company or broker. Mortgage originators do this because the more you agree to pay, the more they are compensated from the wholesale mortgage lender. Tell your loan representative that you will pay a reasonable origination fee for their services, but will not pay any markup of your mortgage interest rate by their company.
III. How Long Will it Take to Lock in My Mortgage Interest Rate?
Don't let your loan representative tell you when to lock in your mortgage interest rate. Tell your loan representative that you will decide when to lock once you're satisfied that mortgage company will not mark up your interest rate. Make sure you get the mortgage rate lock in writing and ask to see the rate lock from the wholesale mortgage lender. Comparing the two interest rate locks will show you any Yield Spread Premium charged by your Mortgage Company or broker.
