Should You Consider An ARM?

Should You Consider An ARM?

Adjustable Rate Mortgages got a bad name after the housing crisis and mortgage meltdown in 2008, but a lot of that reputation is unwarranted.  Negative amortization ARMs, the worst culprits, are long gone.  Interest-only ARMS are hard to find unless

Worker Shortage Is Hurting The Triangle’s Hot Housing Market

The current political climate is hurting our hot housing market.  How?  A significant proportion of workers in housing construction – one in four –  are without proper documentation, and they are scared stiff.  The local home builder’s association has asked

Important Reminders About The Mortgage Process

  1. Don’t apply for any new credit until after we have closed your loan, and don’t make any unusual charges on your existing credit.  Your loan is being underwritten per your current financial status.
  2. Photographs of documents are NOT acceptable.  Originals, scans and faxes are acceptable.
  3. Bank statements must contain your name, your account number, and 30 days of complete activity.  We need ALL NUMBERED PAGES of banks statements.  Even if any numbered pages are blank.
  4. Please provide your closing attorney information asap so that we can order your title work.
  5. Please provide your homeowner’s insurance agent’s contact info asap so that we can request your insurance documentation and submit it for approval.
  6. Once you have signed your loan application, we will send you a request to pay for your appraisal fee with a credit card.
  7. Please directly contact your closing attorney to obtain wiring instructions for your closing funds – you MUST do this yourself for your own security. No one on my team and no one from Corporate Investors Mortgage Group, Inc. will ever send you wire instructions. If you receive an email from anyone at Corporate Investors Mortgage Group, Inc. providing you with wire instructions, do NOT wire your funds with those instructions and notify me immediately.
