How to get best interest rates in Houston...

 

When purchasing a home searching for the best interest rates in Houston is in many occasions a complicated full-time work.

Buying a house involves many complex decisions and besides finding the right house, it would be fair to say the most important task is the best mortgage loan interest rate and of course your credit report will play an important role. Whether we seek for a Conventional Loan, VA Loan or FHA Loan, making sure we will not be paying more interest than we should otherwise with a better interest rate over a 15- or 30-year term is extremely important. Remember even with poor credit scores, home loans for bad credit do exist and thus this is a job we must go thru to find the right mortgage lender towards home ownership. It is wise for first time homebuyers to ask Loan Officer minimum credit score requirements for each loan program we may be interested in to buy a home.

Consider the following hypothetical scenario which in no way is an offer or extension for credit at 2 different possible interest rates assuming $0 closing costs and no mortgage insurance. We offered $325,000 for the perfect house and seller has accepted. Therefore, the following numbers:

Purchase price: $325,000
Down Payment: $16,250 (5%)
Loan Amount: $308,750
Option 1 at 4.875% - Monthly payment: $1,633.93
Option 2 at 4.625% - Monthly payment: $1,587.41

If we were going to close the purchase of such house at the higher interest rate of 4.875% and a payment of $1,633.93, the opportunity cost of not closing at the lower rate of 4.625% would be $34,299.30. Why? Because if we were to choose higher interest rate and thus higher monthly payment if applied to lower rate on a 30-year mortgage, we would accelerate the term of our loan by 21 payments at $1,633.93 would equals the $34,299.30. And any other effort to pay more would equally accelerate faster the repayment of the note.

But finding the best interest rates in Houston not only depends on finding the cheapest bank but also finding the best partnership to complete the home purchase. Clear Lending offers the best interest rates in Houston by setting up Realtor-Loan Officer partnerships where better rates can be obtained than most competitors without the need to waste time searching for dozens of banks and lenders.

Simply apply and we will start your home loan approval with all your options to compare.

    Joan Gallardo and his team have been great help in the home buying process. They go above and beyond to ensure all questions are answered and all due dates are met. I would highly recommend clear lending to any future home buyer.

  • Shane Williams • December 29, 2022

    Joan Gallardo was able to get me from phone call wanting a good home but not wanting to use a ton of my cash for down payment to being in the home in just a few months. Worked as a realtor and helped secure the lending...all in one. Honestly it was perfection. They got me in a better home than I expected when I first called. I can honestly say this was more than I expected, and it took a ton of stress out of a situation I was worried about starting. My only regret is not calling them earlier. I had worried I was not going to get what I wanted for a long time...I got it with Clear Lending.

  • Gerard Porter • December 22, 2021

    This place is the real deal if your credit isnt the best. I was denied over old stuff on my credit and after searching on Google I found this company and after reading reviews I gave a shot. It took me 7 months but after following Joan's advise, I have been able to close on my second house. I have closed in less than 45 days and while I had my doubts this would be possible The Man made it happen. Thanks Joan you got a client and a friend. Can thank you enough. I like to extend my gratitude to all his team that are very sweet and professional. Thanks again.
