I don’t have an idea what type of loan I need. I am looking at a $600k home and have $100k on hand for a downpayment. Do I choose a private lender, bank, or broker? We see that rates are going up and wonder if we need to buy now or wait until they go down. by arebenti756 from Atlantic Beach, Florida. Jul 22nd 2022
Historically, a mortgage broker is going to be the best options in the bulk of cases. No one has a magic crystal ball on rates, but my standard answer is to buy when you need to buy, and don't worry about rates. If rates go higher than what they are today, you are good. If they go down, you can always refinance. I lend for properties in MN, WI, IA, ND, SD. Find me at Wi-MortgageBroker.com - Cambria Mortgage, NMLS 274132
Hello,You definitely would want to find a mortgage banker, who also has the capability of broker. This type of Lender has every option possible for you, and usually at the lowest rate and cost.Also, you mentioned you had $100,000 to put down on a $600,000 house. This is a very good down payment. That being said, would you be able to put down another 20,000? This would bring your loan to value to 80% and you would be able to avoid PMI, which stands for private mortgage insurance, and would save you a lot of money.
