How do I choose a bank for pre-approval on a home loan?

Posted by bank on April 17th, 2010

☆skyblue asked:


I’m currently renting an apartment and want to purchase a home. I first need to get pre-approved for a home loan so I know what type of house I can afford. What should I look for in a bank when considering a home loan? Should I stay with the bank I currently have a bank account with or look at other banks also? If I contact a bank, are there specific questions I should ask to know if they’ll give me the best loan offer?

What options are there mortgage wise to take cash out of your property?

Posted by bank on April 7th, 2010
Long story short, I’d like to eventually take $ out of my home for home improvements. The house would be paid off by the time I take cash out of it. I don’t have a continuous 2 years of employment, but my fico is about 615. What are my options?

My bank is pretty much local, with only about 10 branches total.
My bf’s bank is national.

What does “subject to bank approval” mean in a real estate listing?

Erik asked:


I doubt that it means approval by the buyer’s bank, because some buyers buy cash and have no bank. Alternatively, for buyers who need to get a mortgage, obviously they need a bank’s approval, and there’s no reason for a real estate listing to say that, because that statement would be apply to everyone who’s buying with a mortgage.

I think the statement refers to the seller’s bank. But I can’t figure out why the seller’s bank would have to approve a sale.

Does anyone know what’s the rationale for a statement like this?

Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestions, but it seems unlikely to me that this wording refers to bank approval of the buyer. It is always true that a buyer getting a mortgage needs bank approval. Why would a listing or an advertisement waste the words to emphasize something obvious. This wording does not appear in every listing, only a limited number. I think it has some specific meaning concerning the situation of the seller. The answers here suggesting that this is a pre-foreclosure situation for the buyer seem more likely to me.

What reasons can be used to cancel a bank short sale contract that has not been signed off by the bank?

I am the buyer in this situation. Other than attorneys fees, would there be any other lost monies if the bank has not approved the offer but only the property owner?Submited by:Gman

What options do homeowner’s have when a bank forgets to withhold escrow during a residential refinance?

Posted by bank on January 13th, 2010
A family member is going through this situation in Pennsylvania. I imagine that the bank gave them a better interest rate based on the fact that they were going to escrow. However, the bank forgot, and is now attempting to increase their monthly payment by several hundred dollars each month. Can’t they just pay the taxes and homeowner’s insurance on their own?

Lucknow is growing city in India. A lot of banks are expanding their ATM networks in Lucknow. I have a shop in one of the new markets of Lucknow. I would like to rent it out to a bank to open an ATM there. This will hopefully provide a safe and hassle-free source of income to my family. How should I go about it? Who are the people I need to contact in the banks? Can anyone give me some leads? Which banks are my best bet?

What are your options when a bank has filed foreclosure on your residence?

eddie a asked:


Can you just bring your loan up to date and have it restored? Does one have the right to owrk out a payment plan with the finacial institution? Can the payments be put on the end of your mortgage like in a forebearance case? If your house is sold by the bank do you get the difference between the loan and the equity present in the property? I owe @ $2500 on a 600k house in which my equity should be over 400k. Any suggestions?
