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.

    Thanks Joan, Patricia and Samantha for your amazing help making the purchase of my dream house possible. I really recommend Clear Lending and its team. I remember searching for local lenders who would lend borrowers with low credit scores and I found them. I read some reviews and realized some had been in my same situation. I applied and after 67 days I closed the purchase of the cutest house! They even helped me negotiate with sellers to get them pay all closing costs. Joan I am so thankful I will refer you everyone that is in need to buy a house. I will never forget what you and your team have done for me and my family. Thanks, thanks and thanks again!!!!

    Joan is a great loan officer. I couldn't have asked for a better person. I had one loan officer that felt like she couldn't get me approved. Joan stepped in and was effective and very assertive. He made sure I got approved!
