HERES THE INSIDE SCOOP ON HOW TO DO IT RIGHT!
First: make sure you are working with an experienced,
professional mortgage provider.
FOUR
SIMPLE QUESTIONS YOUR MORTGAGE PROVIDER ABSOLUTELY MUST BE ABLE TO ANSWER CORRECTLY. IF THEY DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWERS
TALK TO A
MORTGAGE PROVIDER THAT DOES!
1) What are mortgage interest rates based on?
(The only correct answer is Mortgage Backed Securities or
Mortgage Bonds, NOT the 10-year Treasury Note. While the
10-year Treasury Note sometimes trends in the same direction as Mortgage Bonds, it is not
unusual to see them move in completely opposite directions. DO NOT work with a
lender who has their eyes on the wrong indicators.)
2) What
is the next Economic Report or event that could cause interest rate movement?
3) When
Greenspan and the Fed change rates, what does this mean
and what impact
does this have on mortgage interest rates? (The answer may surprise
you. When the Fed makes a move, they are changing a rate called the Fed Funds
Rate. This is a very short-term rate that impacts credit cards, credit lines,
auto loans and the like. Mortgage rates most often will actually move in the
opposite direction as the Fed change, due to the dynamics within the financial markets.

4) What
is happening in the market today and what do you see in the near future? (If
your mortgage provider cannot explain how Mortgage Bonds and interest rates are moving at
the present time, as well as what is coming up in the near future, you are talking with
someone who is still reading last weeks newspaper, and probably not a
professional with whom to entrust your home mortgage financing.)
