Spring into Home Buying!

February 7, 2023
Est. Reading: 2 minutes

Spring is traditionally a busy season in the real estate market, with more homes available than any other time of year. That means you have more options. Beginning your home search can sometimes seem overwhelming. The neighborhood, schools, taxes, and HOA fees are just some of the things that need to be considered. This is why it’s important to connect with an experienced home loan expert who can assist you throughout the home loan process.

Consider Your Financing Options:

Our Homestead Loans maintain their original interest rate throughout the life of the loan and offer financing of up to 95% of the purchase price. This means you could buy your home with a down payment as low as 5%. In addition to low down payments, we do not require Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) or Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIP).

Rally also offers escrow options to help you save. Don’t dread the arrival of your tax and homeowner’s insurance bills—manage those expenses with an escrow savings account. Access the funds at any time to pay homeowner insurance or property taxes.

Working with Experts:

Purchasing a home today is very different than it was 10 years ago. Whether you are a seasoned home buyer or a first-timer, you will need to understand new regulations and loan requirements. With today’s tighter regulations, be prepared to provide additional verification and proof documents. Once you’re working with a loan officer, ensure your responses are accurate, complete, and prompt to facilitate a faster, smoother process.

Don’t make major changes to your financial situation. Now is not the time to buy a car or open a new line of credit. Our home loan experts will help you navigate any uncertainties in the lending process.

Your Time is Important:

We know that your time is valuable when you’re ready to buy a home. To speed up the home buying process, we ask that you first speak with a home loan expert and submit all required documents (paystubs, tax returns, rental income, etc.) necessary for approval—before you begin your home search. This step allows us to determine your budget and assist you during your search. Once you find your perfect home and your loan has been approved, we work to quickly fund and complete your loan within 30 days.

Let’s Get Started!

Buying a home is a fun, exciting time and likely the biggest purchase of your life. It’s important to understand all your options and choose a lender who will work with you to ensure a positive home buying experience.
