How to Secure the Perfect Lot Loan
Summary
After dreaming of building a house for your family, you’ve finally found the perfect lot. Now, it's time to secure the right financing. The key to finding the best lot loan is to do thorough research and not rush your decision. Here are some tips to guide you in securing the ideal loan for your investment.
Understand What You Need
To recognize a good loan deal, familiarize yourself with the details of lot loans and their terms. A little homework can go a long way in ensuring you identify the best options and avoid costly mistakes.
Prepare Your Investment
While some lenders might finance up to 90% of the lot's price, you'll get better rates if you can contribute at least 20% of the loan-to-value (LTV). Avoid exceeding 35% as it may affect loan approval.
Set a Building Date
Most lenders require a commitment to begin building within five years of purchasing the land. A clear timeline not only helps in securing your loan but also facilitates converting it to a construction loan and eventually to a first mortgage, potentially saving you money.
Choose the Right Loan Type
Understanding the difference between fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages can save you thousands. Each serves different economic conditions, so choose wisely based on current trends.
Obtain Online Estimates
Many lenders offer free online mortgage estimates. Provide basic information to receive offers from multiple lenders. Remember, these are only preliminary estimates; thorough evaluation requires a check of your credit rating and a property appraisal.
Analyze and Compare
Break down the estimates into base loan amounts and fees. Compare them among similar loan types?"whether fixed or adjustable rate?"to find the best deal.
Negotiate the Terms
After narrowing down your options, research potential lenders online to ensure credibility. Then, negotiate for better terms and fees. Focus particularly on fee reductions to improve your deal.
Be Wary of Early Redemption Charges
Early Redemption Charges (ERCs) can negate savings if you decide to pay off your mortgage early. Include ERCs in your negotiations, and consider other lenders if they refuse to remove them.
By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to securing the perfect lot loan for your dream home.
