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 was amazing! After being let down by Chase mortgage company, Joan and his team picked up the pieces and helped me out tremendously! I would recommend going through him for loans instead of a big commercial bank. No matter what time of day; he would answer any questions or reached out to me about any concerns. He is with you and the realtor every step of the way to help get you a home. Very passionate about helping clients get a home! I would like to thank Joan and his team for helping me get my first home! Y'all made the home buying process easy for me! Thank you again. I love my home.

    Dear Joan,

     

    I am writing you to say Thank You for making our dream come true. My family and I appreciate all the time and effort that you gave on this journey of helping us towards acquiring our dream house. We thank you for all the phone calls that you made including those at late hours, the letters that you wrote, for helping us with our credit, for all the updates, for taking the time on the negotiation to get the price to a fair point, and for going above and beyond in this process. We will definitely recommend you to anybody that is seeking help in buying their own new home. I am grateful that you were the one by our side during every step of the way.

     

    Many thanks from Fernando and Araceli.

    Joan and Patricia guide us in the process of buying our home. They worked long hours and communicated constantly to ensure the process of our purchase went as smoothly as possible. We encounter a few hurdles along the way but with their experience, we were able to close our deal with no problems. Highly recommend to VA applicants. Follow their lead and you will be in your next home soon!!!
