Coconut Creek Real Estate, Remax ParkCreek

If you are self-employed and are considering purchasing a Coconut Creek home it is important to be aware of the changes that have occurred in order to obtain a loan.  As everyone is well aware, getting a loan is not nearly as easy as it used to be. Those who are self-employed are having a more difficult time borrowing money and must provide documentation that shows their income.  The IRS is being contacted for verification by many lenders and any fraudulent income claims are being dealt with.

In a nutshell, if you are self-employed and applying for a mortgage loan to buy Coconut Creek real estate, be prepared.

• Line up all of your documents showing your income before going to apply for a loan.
• Check your credit and do what you can to improve your credit score.
• Pay your bills on time.
• Most importantly, tell the truth, misrepresentation can cost you.

Many lenders, Chase being one, are hiring more loan officers, convinced that the low rates are going to bring many more new loans and refinance loans in the next 18 months or so.  Mortgage rates have been decreasing since April, closely tied to the unsteady economy, where wary investors are putting their money in safe investments like Treasury Bonds.  As these yields go down interest rate goes down as well.  In other words, the unsteady global economy equal good news for home buyers acquiring a mortgage and home owners who are refinancing their home loans.  If you are self-employed and can provide decent and accurate documentation there is no reason you shouldnt be able to secure a loan for a piece of Coconut Creek property.
