At the forefront of our financing options is our innovative process that uses a Lender Credit to pay your Loan Costs for you. Nothing is added to or “rolled” into your loan balance. We can structure your financing such that a Lender Credit entirely offsets your Loan Costs. Our process lets you choose to reduce your down payment or cash-to-close and still obtain your desired financing.
How does it work?
For a given type of loan, such as a 30 Year Fixed Rate, lenders offer
a range of interest rates on any given day. To obtain the lowest
interest rate offered, you’ll typically have to pay all of the Loan
Costs (appraisal, title insurance, closing fees, etc.) plus an
additional fee that goes to the lender called a Discount (commonly
referred to as “points”). But you have a choice: you can pay the costs
or choose an interest rate where the Lender Credit pays your Loan Costs.
In most cases, choosing an interest rate where the Lender Credit pays
your Loan Costs makes more sense. The interest rate differential between
a loan where you pay Loan Costs and points compared to one where the
Lender Credit pays your Loan Costs can be very small. The small rate
difference results in a small payment difference and a long time to
recoup the upfront costs required to obtain the lower rate.
In other words, the rate you choose that offers a Lender
Credit to pay your Loan Costs may be very close to the rate you can get
if you pay the Loan Costs yourself. When we do a comparison of the two
options, many of our clients choose the option where the Lender Credit
pays the Loan Costs. This results in a loan where you do not have to pay
the Loan Costs yourself, either upfront or rolled in to the loan.
We will help by presenting both options to you along with a clear
comparison. You can decide which option is best for you. If we find an
appropriate option, we’ll help you obtain the new loan by handling all
of the details with the lender and the title company. Your Vertex Loan
Advisor and Loan Processor will answer any questions you have throughout
the process, and we will arrange for the closing at a location that’s
convenient for you.
After your closing, your Loan Advisor will monitor rates for you and let
you know about market developments of potential interest. We can help
you keep your mortgage in line with your overall financial goals.
